The ruling on hanging a picture of the Haram in the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Recently, we have seen the spread of pictures of the two Sacred Mosques because of the degree of light in them, which was not there before. Is it permissible to hang them in the house after the degree of the Isra' (Night Journey)?

Answer:
In any case, pictures that are not clear do not cause harm if they are not clear, just small pictures, and not clear. These do not cause harm. But hanging them on the walls, what is the reason for that? There is no need to hang a picture of the Haram on the walls. There is no need for it, because it is feared that hearts will become attached to this picture, and the ignorant will attach themselves to it and seek blessing from it, even in the long run. Therefore, that is not permissible.
