Hanging Pictures on the Wall
Question :
Is it permissible to hang pictures?
Answer:
It is not permitted to hang pictures on a wall, not in offices or in other places. Instead, it is compulsory to obliterate these pictures, for the Prophet ﷺ said:
"Don't 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.
