Do pictures in newspapers prevent the angels from entering?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
As for newspapers that contain pictures, do the angels not enter the house?

Answer:
It is feared, but the safest course for the believer is to cut off the heads, rub them with something, or put dye on the heads until they disappear, or cut them off.
Q: All the pictures in the newspaper?
The Shaykh: Their heads; that would be better. Otherwise, it is easier to tear it up and bury it. But cutting off the heads by removing them, or putting ink or dye on them to remove them, is the way.
Q: If he reads it and throws it away after he is done with it?
The Shaykh: If there is no benefit in it, he should tear it up or bury it.
