Question:
Are the pictures in magazines and newspapers included in the hadith
the Prophet as saying, “The angels do not enter a house which contains a dog or pictures.”النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه كلب ولا صورة؟
Mishkat al-Masabih 4489


Answer:
If the picture is hung up or treated with respect, the angels do not enter. But if it is treated with contempt, if it is treated with contempt and no one pays attention to it, and it is merely thrown on the ground or in a place of contempt, then this does not prevent the angels from entering, because it is treated with contempt. Yes.
