Prayer in a place containing images

Q: Is it permissible to pray in a place that contains images, such as the pictures in newspapers, magazines, and books, even if they are in drawers? And do angels not enter the house that has those images?

A: Prayer in a place containing an image is valid if the Muslim performs it in the manner prescribed by the Shari'ah, but it is better and more preferable for him to seek a place that does not contain images.
As for the entry of angels into a place that contains images, there is a detailed ruling:
If the images are hung up or placed on a chair or the like, they prevent the angels from entering, due to the generality of the hadiths reported on this matter. However, if they are hidden in cabinets or the like, there is a point of consideration regarding whether they prevent the angels from entering. The most cautious course for the believer is not to keep any images with him. If he needs something from them, it is permissible after cutting off the head and removing it. And success is from Allah.
