Do the angels not enter houses that contain images on cards and wallets?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, Shaykh, regarding the transmitted hadith does this mean that the angels do not enter most houses because they contain images on personal cards, ID holders, passports, and the like?
The Shaykh : If the image is displayed and visible, then that is the case; but if it is not visible, then it is not the case.
The questioner : That is to say: the hadith is specific to the visible image.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : If an image is found in a newspaper, not visible.
The Shaykh : You got the answer.
The questioner : And there is no need for that newspaper.
The Shaykh : If there is no need for the newspaper, it is not permissible to bring it in or to bring it into one's house.
The questioner : That is to say: if he buys it and does not read it until a week later, for example?
The Shaykh : Did you get the answer: is there a need for it or not?
The questioner : There is a need.
The Shaykh : So, if I assume there is no need?
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good...
The Shaykh : If there is room for postponement, then postpone it...
The questioner : Well, just two questions, if possible.
