The Ruling on Wealth Earned from an Image-Making Establishment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man is a partner in a shop for photographic equipment and has repented. How can he end his partnership in it without suffering a loss, and what is the ruling on the earnings that come to him from this shop?
Answer: As mentioned previously; he ends it by appraisal. He appraises it and reconciles with his partner on a value that both parties agree upon. What comes to him from that is permissible for him; except if part of its value is the image-making of beings with souls. In that case, he should consider and estimate its share and give it in charity to some of the poor. He estimates the share of what was used to image beings with souls from the other images, estimating a quarter, a third, or more or less of what came to him, then he spends it in the causes of goodness to clear his conscience and distance himself from what is forbidden.
The presenter: Very well, may Allah bless you.
