Hadith
It was narrated from ‘Ali bin Abu Talib that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.”
إِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لاَ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ صُورَةٌ
It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:
“Jibril (as) promised the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he would come to him at a certain hour, but he was late. The Prophet (ﷺ) went out and there was Jibril standing at the door. He said: ‘What kept you from entering?’ He said: ‘There is a dog in the house, and we do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.’”
مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ
It was narrated from Abu Umamah that a woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and told him that her husband was away on some military campaign. She asked him for permission to make an image of a palm tree in her house, and he did not let her, or he forbade her.

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:
