Photos in a house

3 1	I heard a saying by prophet muhammad that said the angels will not enter a house with dogs, pictures or idols i know a long time ago they drew photos but i was wondering if our pictures that we use today would fall under that category because we have a lot of pictures hung up. I would like it if angels can enter my house, if you can please provide evedince from well known scholars.

السلام عليكم NesreenA. I am not an educated person, but I would like to answer your question. insyaaAllah. as a Muslim, I would like to share the secrets to making our homes as a mercy and the angels of mercy will love our home. in Shall to put a picture or a portrait of our family in our home, to remember loved ones and family members as long as we do not worship it. is preferably we put the holy book the Koran in the house, and preferably read the holy book. Priority recited al-Baqarah, Muslim narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said which means: Do not make your houses graves, surely he(devil) will run away from home that has been read at home Surah al-Baqarah. Waallahuataalaalam ..

السلام عليكم NesreenA, as you know that the picture is forbidden if in worship. If the place I live, we Muslims here as Imam Al-Shafie sect and fiqh Imam Al-Shafie is to put the picture should the family members for family purposes. But the law should it just be changed if we misuse or worship other than Allah SWT Waallahhutaalaalam ..

but the prophet didnt worship pictures yet he still ordered his wives to cut the picture and use it in a pillow and said the quote above i dont think its a matter of us worshiping them im just wondering if photographs would count as pictures i heard from one sheikh that the reason you cant have pictures is because somone drew them and tried to mimic gods creation and in yoom il akhirah they will be asked to put souls in the picture, but we dont really draw photographs but then again it does make a picture of a human i need reassurance to whether it counts as a picture the way the prophet meant
