The ruling on angels entering a house that contains an image

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. This questioner says: In a hadith among the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is mentioned
That the house in which there is an image, angels do not enter itأن البيت الذي تكون فيه صورة لا تدخله الملائكة
. The questioner says: If there is a room in the house where there are no images, does the ruling of the house apply to it, meaning that angels do not enter it, or what?

Answer:
Yes, the term "house" is one; the term "house" is one for every room. Its rooms. All the rooms of the house are included in the house.
So if there is an image in the house that is not desecrated, an image that is hung up, and not a respected image that is not desecrated, then this warning includes it in all the rooms. Because it is one house. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(peace and blessings be upon him) Angels do not enter. If there is an image or a dog in it.صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تدخل الملائكة. فإذا فيه صورة أو كلب.
including all its rooms and all its facilities, and everything that attaches to the house, all of it is one.
The ruling includes it, except if the images are desecrated, such as those thrown on the ground, or those that one sits on, or leans on in cushions or carpets. These are desecrated and have no value. And they do not have an effect. Yes.
