It is not permissible to hang pictures of living beings in homes or elsewhere, whether they are of the living or the dead, or for remembrance or any other reason; because of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do not leave any picture without obliterating it, nor any raised grave without leveling it."
