Angels and the Home

SUMMARY: Angels will not enter a house that contains pictures, dogs, or people who are sexually defiled.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: The Prophet said: Angels do not enter the house where there is a picture, or a dog, or a person who is sexually defiled.
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّمَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُدْرِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُجَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، - رضى الله عنه - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَدْخُلُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ وَلاَ كَلْبٌ وَلاَ جُنُبٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that angels will not enter a home if it contains pictures, dogs, or people who are sexually defiled. Pictures and images of any kind are considered to be disrespectful in Islam as they can lead to idolatry. Dogs are also seen as unclean animals in Islam and should not be kept inside the home. Lastly, sexual immorality is strictly forbidden in Islam and those who engage in such activities should be avoided at all costs. This hadith serves as a reminder for us to keep our homes clean from any form of impurity so that we may receive the blessings of Allah through His angels entering our homes.
