The Angels entering the House

Question:

Is it true that the angels do not enter a room on whose walls there are pictures hung?

Answer:

It has been reported in authentic Hadith that the angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog, nor that in which there is a picture, but it has been reported in some narrations that those which are printed on clothes are accepted.It has been authentically reported that the Prophet entered upon 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, and she had curtained off a vestibule in her house with a curtain containing pictures. The Prophet became angry and would not enter until she had removed it and made it up into a cushion or two cushions.From this it has been inferred that what has been cut up and is trodden on or sat upon is permissible, while that which is fastened or hung on the wall or such like is prohibited. This would be either because in these pictures there are imitations of Allah's creation, or because of the fear of them being revered and becoming objects of exaggerated and excessive behavior, or of the makers of these pictures being revered and praised, which are the prerogatives of Allah, the Most High.
