Question:
May Allah reward you. Are the images of living beings drawn on some household furnishings, such as carpets, sofas, and others, considered degraded such that it is permissible to sit on them, or what should we do with them? The questioner indicated his name with the letters S. R. J.
Answer:
First, if it is possible to avoid items containing images and replace them with sound furniture, vessels, or other things, that is better and further from doubt. However, if it is not possible and these images are degraded on the carpets, on the mats, or on the cushions that are leaned on, sat on, or stepped on, then they are of no account because they become degraded. Yes.
