The questioner : What is the ruling on using some blankets that have pictures of some animals on them?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to buy them, nor is it permissible to bring them into the homes of Muslims. However, if something of them was bought and changing it would result in the destruction of the need, it is used until the picture wears out, and it is not returned again.
The questioner : And if it is a gift?
The Shaykh : It is the same case. If he is able to return the gift and advise the giver, that is good!
