Keeping The Ka’bah as Wallpaper
Question
Is it permissible to have an image of the Ka’bah as a wallpaper on one’s phone?
Answer
Although, fundamentally, it will be permissible to have the Ka’bah as a wall paper on the phone, one should avoid doing so as this would be tantamount to showing disrespect to the salient features of Deen. Allah Ta’ala says in the Quraan Majeed:
“And whosoever honours the symbols (salient fearures) of Allah, then it is indeed from the piety of the heart.”
