Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the evidence that despicable images are not forbidden?
Answer:
When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) tore the curtain, as I mentioned to you, when he tore the curtain and made cushions from it, there is no doubt that it contained images. But because it was despicable, being stepped on, leaned upon, and sat upon, it had no value, hearts did not attach to it, and it did not lead to shirk (associating partners with Allah) in the future. Yes.
