Answer
To perform Salaat in a room of pictures and idols is Makrooh (reprehensible).
If there is no alternative, the idols and pictures should be covered. It is more virtuous for a female to perform Salaat at home.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
