Question:
The questioner says: I am a wholesaler in children's clothing, and most of that clothing has images of living beings on it. I try to choose other items, but to no avail, as images are widely prevalent. What is the ruling on this trade? And is it better to change this profession?
Answer:
There are many goods, praise be to Allah. All goods have images. If the clothing, as you mentioned, mostly has images on it, work in something other than clothing. Work in something other than clothing, such as utensils or other goods. There are many goods, praise be to Allah, and clothing without images is also available. So focus on buying clothing that does not have images, or other goods besides clothing.
