The Ruling on Images on Paper, Pillows, and the Like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Do images include statues that are on paper?
Answer:
Images may be on paper, on cloth, on walls, on stone, or standing alone.
Q: If images are on a pillow or on a mattress that is trodden upon, do the angels not enter the house?
A: No, they do not prevent the angels from entering if they are trodden upon. If they are on a pillow or a carpet, they do not prevent the angels from entering.
Q: And what about praying on them?
A: There is no blame. If it is permissible to spread them out, it is permissible to pray on them. However, praying on something that has no engravings or anything that distracts is better. The thing free from engravings and decorations is better, so that the one praying is not distracted.
