Assalamu ALikum Rahmatullahi wa Baraktuh, I want to know about pictures of people in Islam, specifically those used in children's books. Is it permisable to illustrate children's books about Islam with pictures of muslims? If so, what is the basis for this, and if not what is the basis? There is so much controvery about this issue, and I fear Allah because of the Sahih hadeeth about Allah cursing the picture-makers. Still, how are we to educate our children about Islam in this Western Society without children's books with pictures in them? Also, what is your opinion about the book The Lawful and the Prophibited in Islam? Is this a truestworthy publication? JazkAllahkhairun for your efforts!!

If there are words of disbelief on the money/coins of a country, or pictures/drawing on the money/coins of a country that represent disbelief, are we doing anything wrong by using it, for sinful or allowed things? can it be disbelief if we use it for sinful matters? Also what if there are words of disbelief or pictures/drawings that represent disbelief on letters that I receive in my house that are to do with benefits, and they want me to send it back by signing it or stamps that have something on it that represents disbelief, can I send these letter back or put these stamps on letters?Ruling on making a video cartoon series for children
I have a couple of questions that are related to each other so hopefully you are able to answer this in one answer. FIRST SCENARIO: I would like to start a children's Video Cartoon series to teach them about Islam in a subtle manner through messages in the cartoons that will be an education and will be of benefit to children of all faith really but undoubtedly my primary goal is to educate the Muslim children and give them a headstart in life inshaaAllah. So for example one episode may relate to the character being taught a lesson on how & why to respect their parents etc... SECOND SCENARIO: I would like to start a video web series where my audience will be able to ask me questions and I have to answer the questions via a video. The whole point of the idea will be to get a video answer. The issue is that I do not wish to be physically on the video, therefore my graphic designer will create an animation based character which will then answer the audience's questions. I will get a financial reward for the answers, therefore I think of this as a business and it is very important that I do this in a halaal manner so my income will be pure and halaal inshaaAllah. So finally the question is: Can you please kindly outline what type of cartoons are permissible?He made a film out of cartoon pictures; is it permissible for him to make money from YouTube ads that accompany his clips?

What is the ruling on using 3-D images in designing logos? My friend works as a logo designer, and he read in some sources that it is permissible, and that it is only 3-D images and solid, tangible images that are prohibited in Islam, and that images that do not contain any facial features are also permissible. In his work there is no need to use complete images of the body, or to use moving images. To clarify further I hope that you will look at an example of the images available on the following link, which may be needed in the design process: https://redpen.io/qo32bb268f66835e5d Therefore I hope that you will explain the ruling and advise him as to what he should do in such situations.Ruling on a woman sharing pictures of her when she was small
Is it okay for a young unmarried women to share her baby or toddler photos publicly on facebook?

We hope that you will watch these videos [link redacted], in which there is recitation of Juz’ ‘Amma, accompanied by illustrations. The aim is to make a connection between the words of Allah and the illustrations, to help the child memorise and understand easily. The problem is that I read a comment on one of these videos saying that they are a Shi‘a production. Is this correct? What do you advise us to do?Ruling on “liking” photos of women who are not properly covered

Is it haraam to make models of kaba and explain the children the rituals of haj?Difference of opinion regarding making a model of the Ka‘bah in order to teach children about the rituals
The school that my children attend is going to have a party to celebrate the occasion of Hajj on Friday. The school has asked me to dress my children in white garments, so that they can teach them how to perform the rituals of Hajj and tawaaf (circumambulation) of the Ka‘bah. But there will be a “ka‘bah” for teaching purposes only; is that permissible? Should I send my children to school on that day?Depicting the Prophets is wrong and is haraam, and it is not permissible even if some Muslims do that
Its against the rules to show the faces of prophets. Why did Muslims make the 2008 Movie "The Messiah" showing the face of Jesus?Confused about a fatwa on the ruling on showing pictures of women’s fashions
In your fatwa on the website entitled Putting women’s pictures in women-only chat rooms to learn how to do makeup and other adornments, it says that it is permissible to show pictures of fashion outfits in chat rooms with the head cut off or with the facial features blotted out completely. I was confused by this. How can this be permissible when a man who goes to this page could see it? Does blotting out the facial features cancel out the fitnah altogether? How many men have been tempted by a woman’s body even though her face is ugly! If it is permissible, then what is the benefit of the command to wear the abayah if the body is not a source of temptation and it is permissible for men to look at it?

Is it permissible to play with them after reaching puberty?
I want to know on what grounds playing with dolls is permissible for those who have not reached puberty? In the commentary on the hadith: “I used to play with dolls in the presence of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) …” in Fath al-Baari, it says: Imam Ibn Hajar narrated the view of Imam al-Khattaabi, that playing with dolls is not like playing with other images concerning which there is a stern warning. Rather a concession was granted to ‘Aa’ishah concerning that because at that time she had not reached puberty. Then he said: I say: There may be some uncertainty with regard to suggesting that the reason was because she had not yet reached puberty, but it is possible, because at the time of the Khaybar campaign, ‘Aaishah was fourteen years old – either she had completed fourteen years, or had passed that age, or was close to it. But in the case of the Tabook campaign, she had definitely reached puberty. Thus the report of the one who said that this occurred at the time of the Khaybar campaign is more likely to be correct. End quote. My question is: What if our mother ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had reached puberty at the age of ten, for example? What if this hadith is referring to the time of the Tabook campaign? In that case, playing with images would be something that is not only permissible for children. With regard to the hadith which speaks of our mother ‘Aa’ishah watching the Ethiopians playing on the day of Eid, what appears to be the case is that that happened after she had reached puberty. It is noted above in the hadith of Ibn Hibbaan that that happened when the delegation of the Ethiopians came, and they came in 7 AH, so her age at that time would have been fifteen years. End quote. Here the question is: why does Imam Ibn Hajar regard the age of puberty as being fifteen years? Why did he ignore the fact that women could reach puberty much earlier than that?Ruling on putting pictures of men and women on Facebook and in chat rooms
I heard a fatwa forbidding pictures of women and men, such as icons in chat rooms, and also pictures of children. This is also includes pictures of animals such as a picture of a cat or rabbit as an icon? Is this fatwa correct? What pictures is it haraam to put?.
