*Please appropriately reference

Question:
What is the ruling regarding buying daily newspapers and magazines
within which are pictures? And what is the ruling regarding
taking them to the masaajid to read them?
Response:
It is permissible to buy them (so long as) if you efface the
heads (of (all)
that which has a soul (from amongst the humans and animals)).
And it is better for you to read the Qur.aan in the masjid
so that you can benefit from it, and so that you can be an
example to others in (doing) that which is good.
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.
