Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)


Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said that, 'The
Malaaikah do not enter into those homes wherein there are dogs and pictures
(of animate objects).' [Reported by Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim ].

This Hadith means that such an action constitutes violation and disobedience to Divine Orders. The presence of Angels manifests Allah's Mercy. So, the house in which there is no Mercy of Allah is not good.


Also, In the light of the above Hadith, we understand that animate pictures should not be kept in the house. Hence, newspapers and magazines should be removed from the house after being used.

However, if one cannot remove it after use, it should then be covered with something or place it in the cabinet draw or something similar.


And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
