The ruling on keeping books that contain images

Question : Salim says: May Allah reward us for remembering the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and not a dream. How authentic is this hadith? And how do the angels enter? There are many books in the house, most of which are important, and I need them for my studies or my general knowledge. My question is: Am I committing a forbidden act by keeping these books, even though I need them? And if I start removing those images, it will take me a long time, and I would have to pay for some of them?

Answer : Yes. The correct view is that this does no harm. That is, images in books that are not intended for image-making, but rather contain knowledge, where there may be one or two or ten images, either for clarification or explanation or for other reasons, keeping such books does no harm. First, a person needs them. Second, they are closed; the book is not open to be viewed. Third, the person does not want the images themselves, but rather wants the book, and these images are not intended for their own sake. So I see that there is nothing wrong with this, if Allah wills, due to the need for them and the reasons I mentioned.
