Watching pictures and videos on TV is generally permissible , as long as obscenity and vulgarity do not exist. However, one thing to remember in this case (must be remembered) is that , as mentioned earlier , that is, as long as the digital picture saved on Facebook-Internet or computer-mobile will be seen (ie will be open) , no angel of mercy will enter that place. If the Angel of Mercy had been able to enter , it would have been permissible to expose not only the printed (or printed) picture , but also the drawn or engraved picture. Not to be outdone , however, is the fact that no contemporary Sunni mufti or jurist has ruled that it is valid ! Then it becomes an obstacle for the angels to come to the house. But whenever there is no picture of the animal or the whole video or TV is turned off , the angels of mercy can enter the house (ie classroom , office room , shop, etc.) if there is no other obstacle , such as no other picture of the animal in the house. And it is not permissible to watch any stills and videos on TV or mobile phones , or even to read magazines with pictures of animals , in places of sacred and (Muslim) emotions, feelings, respect, etc., such as mosques and shrines . Because , firstly , it is a disgrace to these holy places and also a breach of etiquette .
