Question

I want to place a picture of ka'ba and masjid nabawi, but there are a lot of pictures of woman and man standing nearby. is it allowed to hand the pictures??? how about if the pictures only shows the head of those people (a picture from above or from a distance?)

Answer

It is not permissible to display frames of the Ka?abah containing pictures of human beings around the Ka?abah. However, it will be permissible if the faces are blur and not recognisable. (Shaami vol.1 pg.648; HM Saeed)
