What is the ruling on selling carpets that have images on them?

Question : The questioner says: I work for one of the merchants, and he brings me carpets with images on them. What is my position regarding them? Do I sell them, or is it not permissible? And what should be done?

Answer : As for carpets, which are the mats that people sit on, if they have images on them, the majority of scholars hold that they are permissible. If that is the case, there is no blame on you for undertaking the sale of these carpets, because the majority hold that they are lawful, as they are degraded in this state. And if they are degraded, they are the furthest thing from being revered or becoming attached to them.
