Erasing Images of Living Beings in Advertisements and on the Streets

Question:
A questioner asks: Is it necessary to forbid the matters in which there is scholarly disagreement? To put it more clearly, regarding the images of living beings that are published in advertisements on the streets and roads, is it permissible for me to erase them?

Answer:
There is no doubt that disagreement over images or other matters is not considered valid unless there is evidence to support it. As for mere statements and opinions, they are not to be heeded if they have no evidence. The evidence indicates the prohibition of image-making in all its forms, and the prohibition of using it.
And [do so] to the extent of your ability. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . That is what you are able to do in your house, or in your car, or whatever is within your power to erase. As for trying to follow up on all the images on the streets, you cannot do that. You cannot do that. But you are required to do what you are able to do, and what is under your ownership and within your power. Yes.
