Acquiring/owning
magazines within which are pictures
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What do you say regarding acquiring/owning magazines within
which are pictures; Are these pictures
from
those which are forbidden?
Response:
Acquiring/owning magazines within which are pictures is permissible
if the purpose of buying them was for that which it (the magazine)
contains of beneficial knowledge. And it is befitting for
whoever acquired/owned them to efface all the pictures with
ink or that which is similar. However, if the purpose of acquiring/owning
it (the magazine) was for the pictures, then this is not permissible.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
