Images that prevent the angels from entering the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the house that the angels do not enter, is it the house that has personal pictures, kept in a specific place, or does it mean pictures that are hung up?
Answer:
Hung pictures, or those kept out of respect for them, which they call memories, and they give them the status of memories, the angels do not enter a house in which they are. As for pictures that are treated with contempt, which are stepped on, sat on, and walked on, these have no ruling because they are degraded. And pictures, whether of humans, animals, or birds, all beings with souls, it is not permissible for them to remain in houses, except for necessary pictures that have become necessary now, such as a picture on an ID card, a picture in a passport, or a driver's license. These have become necessary. Due to the necessity, they do not have an effect, if Allah wills. Yes.
