The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would send his Companions and instruct them not to leave any statue - three-dimensional or flat image - without removing it or blotting it out, and not to leave any raised grave without leveling it and destroying any structure built above it; or making it flat as high as a span above the ground.

• Images of living beings are prohibited, for they are means leading to Shirk (polytheism).
• It is legitimate to remove wrong things with one's hand if one has the authority or ability to do so.
• The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was keen on removing all traces of jāhiliyyah (pre-Islam period of ignorance), such as images, statues, and structures built over the graves.
