Question:
Abu Mu'adh from Jubail, please go ahead, Abu Mu'adh. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings. I ask Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to grant you relief from your mother. May I ask the Shaykh, may Allah give you health, about the pictures of the deceased, as a friend of mine? Please go ahead. On a mobile phone. And the second question. Okay, wait a moment, a moment, a moment, a moment, let the Shaykh answer the question.
Answer:
My brother, destroy the pictures, do not keep them. It is not permissible to keep pictures in the houses, except for necessary pictures, and these are not necessary. The deceased has died, and there is no benefit in his pictures. I mean, for memories, this is not permissible. It is not permissible to acquire pictures for the houses. Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. So, destroy them. Destroy these pictures.
