Do angels not enter a house that contains images and statues if it is impossible to get rid of them?
Hanging pictures of animate beings (humans and animals) prevents the entry of angels, whether they are three-dimensional or two-dimensional, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture." One should strive to break these pictures or remove them from the house, unless doing so would lead to a greater evil. In that case, one should limit themselves to advising with wisdom and good admonition.
