Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, what is the ruling on the prayer of one who prays while having images with him?
The Shaykh : With him?
The questioner : Images.
The Shaykh : Yes, if one prays while having images with him, we say: First, what makes him carry them if they are images that are not permissible to possess? In that case, it is obligatory for him to 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 license, there is no blame on him in this, because he is compelled to do so. Yes, the oath.
