Is it permissible or forbidden to enter and sit in a place that contains pictures?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Forbidden images are considered evil, which must be changed. Entering places where they exist and sitting in them is not permissible except in cases of extreme necessity, with denunciation by heart. This is based on the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith."
