What is the ruling on hanging a picture of a deceased person?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I work in one of the sectors, and in the building where we work, there is a picture of one of the ministers who passed away (may Allah have mercy on him). This picture takes up a large space and was kept out of love for this minister. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
The ruling on that is that you should ask your manager to remove it. If he refuses, write to the Ifta department; write to His Eminence the Mufti, and he will look into it, if Allah wills. Yes, if he refuses to remove it, yes.
