For details refer to the books of fiqh’. In this short article, we will try to learn ‘the Divine Verdict’ on the display of pictures/portraits and statues in our society, as explained from the traditions of Masomeen -asws : In brief, using pictures/portraits of animals within the house for decoration, is forbidden, if one finds these images within a house, then one cannot offer Salat there unless these images are covered or are underneath one’s feet.

Pictures of nature; those without a head are however, acceptable within the premises of the house, i.e., on walls or on furnishings. Furthermore, indulging in such activities and acts which diverts one’s attention away from Allah -azwj is also forbidden and, is considered to be ‘Lahoo Lahab’ (satanic acts).
