Advertising livestock using animate photographs
Question

It is not permissible to use pictures of animate objects to advertise one’s good of merchandise. The warning of severe punishment for the picture-makers on the day of Qiyaamah is applicable in this instance as well. [Re: Fataawa Uthmaaniyyah Vol:10 Pg:338]

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
