The questioner : She says that she is a girl and has some jewelry with images of humans and animals on it. Is it permissible to pray while wearing such items? We ask you to provide us with guidance.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to wear jewelry with images of humans or animals, neither during prayer nor at any other time, because they are three-dimensional images. It is forbidden to possess and use three-dimensional images, and angels do not enter a house in which there is an image. It is obligatory for the one who has such jewelry to take it to a goldsmith so that he cuts off the heads of these animals. Once the head is cut off, the prohibition is lifted. It is not permissible for her to keep this jewelry with her until the heads are cut off or rubbed off so that the head is no longer distinct.
