Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on bringing newspapers and magazines containing images into the mosques?

Answer:
It is not permissible to bring images into the premises. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a bellلا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه كرب ولا صور
Sunan Abi Dawud 4231Hasan (Al-Albani)
. So how can they be brought into the mosques? This is a matter that is not permissible.
