Question:
Finally, he asks: What are the types of images that are not permissible to have in the house?
Answer:
Upright images that are mounted on walls, or on doors, or placed in the curtains on the doors, or on the walls, or in frames placed on the walls, these are not permissible.
As for an image on a mattress that is slept on, or ...... that is sat upon, or on cushions, there is no harm in it; because they are worn out. It is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a curtain with images in it in the house of 'Aishah, so he became angry and ordered it to be torn down. 'Aishah then made two cushions from it, and ...... used them -may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him-. It is also established in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah in al-Nasa'i and others that Jibril (peace be upon him) had an appointment with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When he arrived, he found a statue, a curtain with images, and a dog in the house, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not know about. Jibril paused and did not enter until he informed him of this. He said to him: So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the dog to be taken out; it was ...... al-Hasan or al-Husayn. He ordered the curtain to be made into two low cushions to be sat upon, and he ordered the head of the statue to be cut off. Then Jibril (peace be upon him) entered.
