Reciting Quraan in a room with images of animate beings
Question
Is it permissible to recite Quraan in a room with images of animate beings?
Answer
The pictures should be removed. It is not permissible to keep these haraam pictures in one's home. Similarly, it is disrespectful to recite the Quraan Majeed in a place where these pictures are found.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
