Sister moving in with me wants to put up pictures of movie stars…

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

A sister is moving in with me at the uni’s residence… but she wants to put up pictures of movie stars, and other strange stuff. She is good, prays, and even covers. She is better than having others… but: what do I do? I don’t want to hurt her feelings by telling her no! and I can’t accept these pictures…

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum,

It is best to be clear and firm about your stance(s), but in a friendly and loving way.

Use wisdom, diplomacy, and tact. Take your friend out for dinner to a place she likes (for example), after giving her a small gift, and then explain yourself in a positive manner.

In terms of halal and haram of things: See answer(s) below.

Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
