Drawing modestly dressed women
Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question. I am a girl who likes to draw, but I always make sure that my drawing is cut off (so that it would not be able to live by its own if it were real). Usually, I cut them off at the stomach or waist. Sometimes, I draw them without giving them a face. Sometimes, I only draw the body to design clothes. I want to ask.. More

Keeping fashion pictures to use in dressing before Mahrams
Assalaamu alaykum. In fatwa no. 351643, I read that such cartoons do not fall in the same category as looking at real images. But in fatwa no. 88793, such pictures are forbidden. From what I read, I assume that the latter is forbidden because it is pornographic and has bad influences? Please clarify this, so that I do not misunderstand. Also, I like.. More

Keeping pictures for memory
Assalaamu alaykum. Having learned about the impermissibility of women's photos, I now feel regretful and am taking steps to destroy all non-hijabi or improper hijab photos of mine and not make new ones.

Using software with animal images in logo
First of all, thank you very much for your responce. I have read your fatwa on Islamweb, but it is still not quite clear to me. In fatwa No. 350722, you state "If the image is not clear; i.e. it does not have eyes or a nose or mouth or fingers, then it is not a complete image and it is not considered imitating the creation of Allah, the Exalted." Now,.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. Please reply soon. I am thinking of giving a gift to my mom.I have a picture of her college days. I want to enlarge it and gift it to her. There is almost no chance of any non-Mahram (permanently unmarriageable kin) seeing it since she will not hang it up. Given that photographic images are permissible as per a strong scholarly position,.. More

I phoned the "baladiya" in my country (Qatar), but the baladiya said that they do not incinerate things anymore; they.. More
