Keeping a picture of the blessed shoes of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam in one’s possession
Question:-
Is it permissible to keep a picture of the blessed shoes of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam in one’s pocket?
Answer:-
If a person, together with obeying the commands of Allah Ta’ala, follows the Sunnah of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam, then this will certainly be a means of Barakah and blessings in his life. On the contrary, if one keeps a picture of the blessed shoes of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam in his pocket or keeps frames of the Ka’aba Sharif and Madinah Sharif in his home, but his life is against the Sunnah and Shariah, then in spite of having possession of such pictures, one will be deprived of Barakah.
Unfortunately, we have attached importance to things that are less important nowadays whilst things that are of vital importance in our Deen and Shariah are overlooked. We therefore conclude that there is no harm in keeping a picture of the blessed shoes of Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam in one’s possession but this shouldn’t be considered as a means of one’s success, particularly if the divine laws of Shariah are being overlooked.
Yes, if one upholds the laws of Shariah, follows the Sunnah, and out of extreme love for Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam, keeps a picture of his blessed shoe, then undoubtedly this is a means of blessings.
