Question

I want to make an online store, what if I take product pictures from other online store which have their own watermark on products so I remove their watermarks from their products pictures and then use those pictures on my online store, is it permissible?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
