Hanging pictures of deceased relatives and scholars for the sake of remembrance

Question:
May Allah reward you. In his final question, he asks: What is the ruling on hanging pictures in the home, such as a picture of a deceased father, mother, or brother, where the intention is solely for remembrance?

Answer:
It is not permissible to hang pictures of living beings, whether human beings, animals, or any other living creatures. It is not permissible to hang them on walls, neither for remembrance nor for any other reason. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he saw a curtain in the house of 'Aishah containing images, was displeased (peace and blessings be upon him) and refused to enter the house until that curtain was torn down and removed from its place. Also, hanging pictures leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and may result in shirk (associating partners with Allah) and the exaltation of these hanging pictures, especially if they are of revered figures such as scholars, leaders, and others. This is a cause for attachment to them and seeking blessing (tabarruk) from them. Even if there is no seeking of blessing, they are forbidden (muharram) because this constitutes a public display of disobedience. Yes.
