Is it permissible to print personal photos of men—on glass, wood, and other materials—and sell them, while refraining from printing photos of women?

The questioner's action involves two issues:
First: Printing a personal photo on glass. We advise avoiding this to steer clear of controversy.
Second: The questioner knows that the photo will be acquired to be hung in a house. This is not permissible because it prevents the entry of angels and is a probable cause for veneration.
Therefore, the questioner should refrain from printing personal photos that are known to be hung on walls by their owners.
