Ruling on keeping Islamic magazines that contain images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on keeping Islamic magazines that contain pictures?
Generally, if a person keeps magazines for the sake of the images in them, that is forbidden, and there is no doubt about it. However, if he keeps them for the sake of the benefits in them and does not care about the images in them, I hope there is no harm in that; because the hardship of guarding against images in every newspaper and every magazine is apparent, and hardship brings about ease. But it is better to do without them, and in the books of Islamic jurisprudence there is what is better and more complete.
