A potato logo shaped like a human being
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 19319 )
Q: Since we are a national organization that wants to register a new logo
in the food market (restaurants), and to give it global fame, out of our care we are submitting a sample of the logo to Your Eminence to receive Your Eminence’s guidance on the matter of the logo. The logo is a potato, which is a type of vegetable, drawn in a caricature (humorous) style and written in Latin letters. We hope for your guidance regarding the logo. May Allah guide you to what is in the interest of Islam and Muslims.
A: This potato logo is drawn in the image of a human being, and depicting images of what has a soul, whether human or otherwise, is forbidden by the Shari'ah due to the indication of the texts; therefore, this logo, which is drawn in the image of what has a soul, must be abandoned. May Allah reward you with good for your question in order to be cautious in your religion, and may He guide you to lawful earnings. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
