Places Where Prayer is Permissible and Where it is Not Permissible
وَ سُئِلَ: عَنِ اَلتَّمَاثِيلِ تَكُونُ فِي اَلْبِسَاطِ لَهَا عَيْنَانِ وَ أَنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ لَهَا عَيْنٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَلاَ بَأْسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَهَا عَيْنَانِ وَ أَنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَلاَ.
He, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام, was asked about images on a carpet that have two eyes while you are praying. Imam عليه السلام said: "If it has one eye, then there is no harm, but if it has two eyes and you are praying, then it is not permissible."
