Question

Q. Please help. I know we are not allowed to hang any pictures in home as frames or on display of living animals or people. But what abt those on our food like on cereal boxes and other items.

I thought if we kept them away in cupboards it would be ok? Its not left in open areas. Pls advise

Answer

After use, these should be covered or kept away in the cupboard. They should not be left out and displayed when not in use.

And Allah Knows Best

Are photographs and taking pictures permissible?

“This is not permissible. Through you building a social media app where users will post pictures of animate objects, you will be involved in the sin of photography as well as inviting others to commit this grave sin.”
