Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Newspapers and some magazines that are called conservative, and they contain pictures, do they fall under the pictures that prevent the angels from entering if they are in the house? If these pictures are displayed and kept.
Answer:
Yes, they prevent them. But if they are despicable, stepped on, and thrown away, and have no value, they do not prevent them. If they are despicable, stepped on, and thrown on the ground until they are taken out of the house, then the despicability has no ruling. However, if they are displayed and cared for, it is not permissible.
