The Shaykh:
Regarding reports. Yes, like that, O translator. It is not permissible to use images except for the most extreme necessity, such as photos for a personal ID card or a passport, or matters upon which a person’s interests depend, which would be disrupted if these were not available. In such cases of necessity, there is no harm. As for anything else, it is not permissible to use images.
