can read salat in a room where there are photoes on the wall?
Question
I wanted to ask whether we can read salat in a room where there are photoes on the wall? I heard angles do not enter a room where photoes are hooked up, is this true? What about mirrors?
Answer
It is not permissible to have pictures of animate objects. The angels of mercy do not enter such a house. If there are pictures of animate objects in one’s house, Salaat performed there will be Makrooh. To have mirrors in one’s room is not like having pictures of animate objects. The picture in a mirror is a reflection.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
