Hanging a photo of the Kabah on the front wall of the musjid

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: In our Masjid someone has placed a hanging painting/photo of Kaba and Gumbade Khazra at the wall near the (Member- place where Imam leads the Salah). Is it permissible to put it there. I have reservations. So far I am concerned as it diverts the attention of cautious and creative people and therefore not good to keep these things in Masjid. Is it correct?

Bismillaah

A: It would have been better that it be hung at some other spot, not in the qiblah direction.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
