Ruling on the sale and purchase of frightening masks
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There are currently frightening masks in the form of images being sold in shops. People buy them and wear them. Is there anything wrong with that?
First: I see that these masks are forbidden to sell, buy, possess, or use; because they are a waste of money and have no benefit whatsoever. And anything that has no benefit, spending money on it is forbidden; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited the waste of money.
Second: They are distorted, they frighten children and scare them, and this frightening image remains in the child's imagination until he dies, unless Allah wills otherwise. So I do not see it as permissible; rather, I see it as something to be prevented. It is not permissible for a person to buy it, sell it, possess it, or use it.
