The Ruling on Buying Magazines That Contain Images

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Before you find hair in the gardens, the newspapers that contain images, and what is their effect? Is it permissible to cover their logos? Do you count those images, and do you know the garden if you make a mistake?

Answer:
As for obscene images and these obscene magazines, it is not permissible to buy them or bring them into the house. Yes? Magazines that specialize in obscenity, lewdness, spreading atheism, and promoting corruption in morals and nudity—these are not permissible to buy, nor is it permissible to bring them into the house. As for the magazines that contain news and information, and they have some images in them: if his intention is the images, then it is not permissible for him to buy them. If his intention is the information and news in the magazine, and the image is not his intention, then it is permissible to buy these magazines, and if he blots them out with the tip of a pen, that is better. Yes.
