The Ruling on Magazines Containing Images of Women
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: What is your opinion regarding the magazines sold in the markets that feature images of women who are immodest and alluring? Is it permissible to sell them?
A: All magazines and newspapers must be prohibited if they contain images of women, because they are a trial. The state has agreed to this, praise be to Allah, and the Minister of Information has also issued an order to prohibit this.
Therefore, it is obligatory for everyone to cooperate to protect Muslims from these magazines and from the press that publishes vices and indecent images, whether domestic or foreign; because this is what is wrong and must be eradicated by those responsible for it.
It is obligatory for the Ministry of Information and the Religious Supervision to follow up on this and do what is necessary to eradicate it. May Allah guide their steps and grant them success in all that brings benefit to the people and the land, for He is the All-Hearing, the Near.
