Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a person to pray while there is a picture of an animal, such as a horse, hanging on the wall in front of him?
The Shaykh : The prayer is valid, but the original act of hanging pictures on the walls is not permissible. Pictures are only permissible if they are degraded and trodden upon, but if they are hung up, they are not. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that the angels do not enter a house in which there is a picture.
