The answer

Hanging pictures of animate beings (humans and animals) prevents the entry of angels, whether they are three-dimensional or two-dimensional, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture." One should strive to break these pictures or remove them from the house, unless doing so would lead to a greater evil. In that case, one should limit themselves to advising with wisdom and good admonition.
