Note 1
(1) His statement: “For when I see it…”: He did not cite the prohibition of images or their preventing angels from entering, either because this was before their prohibition, the figures were too fine to be noticed, they were permissible on cushions or bedding, or to teach his household to avoid luxury and worldly pleasures, so they would not replace it with another curtain, even without images. (As stated in Al-Lama’at.)
