The ruling on having pictures in the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Excuse me, also regarding pictures, they say, meaning, some say they are forbidden, while others say no, only if they are, meaning, cropped or, meaning, the neck area or a line, so this satisfies the condition, so I do not know exactly what the ruling is?

The Shaykh : The ruling is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture.لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه صورة،
Sahih Muslim 2106e
So any picture that is in the house, whether it is three-dimensional or colored, it is not permissible for it to remain in it,

The questioner : And if it is half. Meaning, a picture of half. The beginning, the beginning

The Shaykh : What removes the ruling of the picture is for a person to remove its head, the head, as in the hadith
passed by the head of the statueمر برأس التمثال
So let him cut it until it is like a tree, so this is what removes the ruling of the picture, whereas if the bottom of the picture is removed and the chest, belly, and head remain, then it is like a man sitting,

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
