The question

Does the presence of decorative statues in a home prevent angels from entering the entire house, or only the room where the statue is located? And does this ruling apply to small crystal statues?

The answer

What has been reported, that angels do not enter—if there is a dog or a picture in it—is the house, not the room; because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture." This includes the entire dwelling. There is no difference in the fundamental prohibition between statues made for decoration or for other purposes, although those intended for glorification carry a greater sin, and anything placed to be worshipped is disbelief. As for crystal figurines used as toys for girls, there is no harm in them.
