• The recording angels who write down the deeds of the son of Adam enter houses in which there are images. The angels who do not enter a house in which there are images are the angels of mercy. • The images which prevent the angels from entering a house are images of animate beings, apart from images that are dealt with in a disrespectful manner. • it is not permissible to pray in a place in which there is an image unless the Muslim is forced to pray in that place and is unable to remove the image.

Keeping three-dimensional pictures is prohibited. If non three-dimensional are hung up to be venerated and respected, as in the case of pictures of kings, presidents, ministers, scholars etc., they are prohibited because it involves exaggeration about a created being. If pictures are hung up for the sake of memory, such as hanging up pictures of one's friends, this is also prohibited. An exception is made in the case of children’s toys which are not regarded as prohibited or disliked.

Images which do not have complete features, which do not have a nose or eyes, are not included under the heading of prohibited images, and the ones who make them are not included in the Prophetic warning, because they cannot truly be said to be images, and these images do not imply imitating the creation of Allah.
