Carrying Images in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 658 )
Q3: What is the ruling on the prayer of one who carries an image, such as having a wallet with his picture in it, which he fears will be lost if he leaves it until he prays, or having money with pictures on it?
A3: It is permissible for a person to pray the obligatory and voluntary prayers while carrying
a wallet with his picture in it or money with pictures on it, and his prayer without carrying an image is better for him if he can get rid of it without harm befalling him or hardship befalling him; acting in accordance with the apparent meanings of the hadiths, and avoiding the disagreement among scholars regarding non-three-dimensional images. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
