Effect of pictures on angels and prayers

Question

If our home have our image photograph hanged on the wall it seems angels will not enter the house and all our prayers in the house will not be carried up by angels to Allah. Is this true? Please explain.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

The ruling about hanging and exposing photograph is already discussed in Fatwa: 82040.

The exposing of photographs and pictures does not prevent the acceptance of supplications (Du’a) or other acts of worship as there is no evidence proving that.

Allah knows best.
