سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الدَّارِ وَ الْحُجْرَةِ فِيهَا التَّمَاثِيلُ أَ يُصَلَّى فِيهَا فَقَالَ لَا تُصَلِّ فِيهَا وَ فِيهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ يَسْتَقْبِلُكَ إِلَّا أَنْ لَا تَجِدَ بُدّاً فَتَقْطَعَ رُءُوسَهَا وَ إِلَّا فَلَا تُصَلِّ فِيهَا .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Amraky Bin Ali, (It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the house and the chamber wherein are the resemblances, can one Pray in it?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not Pray in it and therein is something facing you, except if it is inevitable then you can cut-off its heads, or else do not Pray in it’.
