A Hadith Regarding Pictures
@Irfan76 sir here in this Hadith https://youtu.be/C6QSawTl96E Ghamidi Sahab says that pictures in the house of Hazrat Ali were not in a state of placement or reverence that sentiments of shirk or reverence of shirk things would trigger, and such pictures could have been allowed because of the fact that Hazrat Ali and their family would have not worshipped them but still prophet mentioned the fact that angels do not enter, and he himself did not enter such place. https://youtu.be/B-Y2Sxqy9Wk But in this hadith ghamidi Sahab said that angels do not enter homes where picture are there but then words “except for clothes” are also mentioned. Ghamidi sahab explained it that it meant that those clothes which are of daily use items like pillow or rugs, blankets etc. Such exceptions were allowed because instead of putting them up in places of reverence, using them for such places finish their status as being revered or any way of reverence for worship. So why was it not allowed in one case above but not in one another case, although both held the same status that the images were not being revered or on places where some sentiments of shirk could be associated with it? Q1- can it be said that the pictures prohibited above in Hazrat Ali’s house were of some dieties or something like that, that even those pictures when putted in a place where there is no reason of veneration, EVEN then such pictures would be sin to keep and Angels would not come. And in the case where it was allowed, it was those normal pictures of living things (not of dieties). So only those pictures were allowed to keep with a condition that they too are not put up in high place but rather are treated in a way which a person may say is not revered? Can it be said like this? Q2 – even if some picture of a deity of a religion is placed somewhere, but there is no threat of anyone being influenced by it or it leading a way for shirk. So even if a picture like this is placed, and angels might not come. So is it necessary that if the angels do not come then it means that this action is, in and of itself is a sin? (If someone puts a statue of buddha in a his house as a show piece, but there’s no likely threat that it would influence anybody for shirk sentiments or revered) so would this keeping in a house (which does not lead to shirk) will also be sin, independently? Q3- was the concept that angels do not enter a house where there is a picture, spreaded into Muslims in a form of ijma and tawattur? Like the way Sunnah and Quran were transferred? And it may be said if an ijma and tawattur was there then an independent prohibition may be taken that it is Haram in and of itself to keep images in house?
