Designing Symbols Of Other Religious Sects
Question
Is it permissible for a Muslim to design, print, or embroid symbols associated with other religions? The work is carried out strictly on a one-to-one basis, with no form of advertising, promotion, or intention of endorsing those religious beliefs?
Answer
No, it is not permissible to design, embroid and print symbols associated with other religions as this will be tantamount to assisting in evil and transgression.
“And do not assist in sin and transgression.” [Surah Maa’idah, Verse 2]
