What is the ruling on hanging frames of animated pictures in children's rooms, and what is the ruling on hanging frames in general?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the animated pictures are of inanimate objects, such as trees and mountains, there is no harm in placing them in children's rooms. However, if they are of animate beings, then if they are sculpted or drawn, they are forbidden. If they are taken by means of photography (lit. "imprisoning the shadow"), there is a difference of opinion among contemporary scholars regarding them, and the most prudent course is to avoid them except out of necessity or need. As for hanging frames in general, there is no harm in it.
