Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Allah is sufficient for me. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on hanging pictures in which living beings are not depicted?
Answer : It is the same. The ruling on hanging pictures in which living beings are not depicted is not clear in this question. However, in any case, if the one hanging them is hanging pictures of trees, rivers, stars, and the like, there is nothing wrong with it. But if the one hanging them is hanging a picture of an animal or a human being, that is not permissible, because the angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture. Yes. And what is meant is the picture whose possession is not permissible. As for pictures whose possession is permissible, such as pictures on a driver's license, an ID card, or a passport, there is nothing wrong with them out of necessity. Yes.
