The angels that do not enter a house containing an image or a dog

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it correct to say that the angels that do not enter a house containing an image or a dog are only the angels of revelation?

The Shaykh:
My brother, no. The angels of mercy do not enter the homes of Muslims unless there is an obstacle; if there is an obstacle, they do not enter, and the Shayatins enter instead. Therefore,
that He said: “The angels do not enter a houseقال لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا
Musnad Ahmad 815Sahih because of corroborating evidence, this is a Da'if isnad] (Darussalam)
is an indefinite term. Does this cover any house? Yes.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
You must not derive rulings on your own or interpret on your own. This is forbidden. It is not permissible to interpret the Qur'an except by athar (a report from a Companion or successor). Yes.
