The Ruling on Hanging Pictures on the Wall

Question:

Is it permissible to hang pictures?

Answer:

It is not permissible to hang pictures on a wall, not in offices or in other places. Instead, it is compulsory to obliterate these pictures, for the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) said: Dont leave a picture alone without effacing it. Hanging a picture may lead to exalting it or worshipping it, particularly if the picture is that of a King or a President. The picture may also become the source of temptation if it depicts a woman or a handsome young person.
