The Ruling on Keeping Pictures
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the pictures remaining from a school form? What must be done with them?
Answer:
It is obligatory to destroy them if there is no need for them. As for the hadith "except a piece of cloth," it is mentioned in the hadith indicating that angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture. This is understood to apply to a cloth that is spread out, such as a pillow or a carpet. As for what is hung up, it is not included in that, as evidenced by the fact that he (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuked 'A'ishah for hanging up a cloth that had pictures on it.
