The Ruling on One Who Prays While Carrying Images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on the prayer of one who prays while carrying images?
Regarding one who prays while carrying images, we say: As for these images, what is it that makes him carry them? If they are images that are not permissible to possess, then he must burn them, and it is not permissible for him to carry them with him. However, if they are images that he must carry with him, such as images on currency or images in an ID card or a driver's license, then there is no blame on him in this; because he is compelled to do so.
