Making images of living beings on walls and the like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 6127 ):
Q1: Is it permissible for a Muslim to pray in a house whose walls are covered with images of human animals and others? Q2: Is it permissible for a Muslim to pray in a garment that has an image of an animal on it?
Answer 1: Depicting beings with souls is forbidden, and placing images of beings with souls on walls and the like is likewise forbidden. Praying in a place where such images are present is not permissible except out of dire necessity, and likewise, praying in clothing that contains images of animals is not permissible; however, if one does so, the prayer is valid despite the prohibition. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated by Muslim and he graded it as authentic. Answer 2: The ruling on depicting beings with souls has been mentioned previously. The prayer of one who prays in a garment containing an image of a being with a soul is not permissible, but it is valid, as mentioned previously. And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

That when he saw a curtain at Aisha’s that had images on it, he became angry and tore it, and said: “Indeed, the makers of these images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them: ‘Bring to life what you have created.’”
أنه لما رأى سترًا عند عائشة فيه تصاوير غضب وهتكه وقال: إن أصحاب هذه الصور يعذبون يوم القيامة، ويقال: أحيوا ما خلقتم
