Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to hang photographs on the walls, such as a picture of the father or the brother or others?

It is not permissible.
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه كلب ولا صورة

This is not permissible except for worn-out pictures that are trampled upon. Yes.
