Question
Is it permissible to study in front of an immodest picture, and does such a picture have the status of 'ervah' regarding the recitation of Shema and similar activities?
Answer
It is forbidden to look at it, but one who recited Shema in front of it does not need to repeat, as it is not considered actual 'ervah'.
