The Ruling on Desecrated Images and the Entry of Angels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And so on, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A fifteen-year-old girl asks, saying: There are images in my family’s house that are not hung on the walls, but there are no such images in my private room. Do the angels enter my room or not? And am I permitted to take these images and discard them?
Answer:
Desecrated images, those that are trampled or fall down, do not have the ruling of the others, and they do not prevent the angels from entering because they are desecrated. As for the hung images, those are the ones about which there is discussion, or images kept in frames or in places where they are cared for; these are the images that prevent the angels from entering. However, you should do what you can of advising and forbidding what is wrong. If they do not comply, the sin is upon them.
