The ruling on having a television in the home and the generality of the hadith regarding angels

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah informs you: Does the presence of a television in the home fall under the generality of the famous hadith that angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image?

Answer:
And what would take it out of the hadith? It appears to me that it is included in the hadith, unless it is said that these images go away and do not remain, like the image in a mirror that appears and then disappears. As for fixed images that are kept, there is no doubt that they are forbidden. As for images that appear and then disappear, like a mirror, there is no ruling regarding them. Yes.
