praying in a magazines room

[islampeace]

assalamu alaykum
can u tell me if i could carry quran in the school or if i could pray in a room which has movies and magazines in there. movies and magazines are in the back of the room so does it matter? can u give extra details about a room in which we could pray in?

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

AS long as the photos of the magazines and video covers are behind you when you are praying, and they are not in front of you, your salah will be perofrmed in a ja'iz manner.

Alternatively, you could seek to use a different room, in which there are no pictures from magazines or videos or c.d.s. You could also carry the Qur'an in school, as long as it has a cover (ghilaf), and you dont touch it while you have no ablution. Special care must also be taken when handling or placing the Qur'an, as it should never be mishandled or misplaced.


Jazak'allah for your question.
