Purchasing teaching resources that have pictures of animate objects
Question
I would like to know if it is permissible to purchase teaching resources from the company Learning Roots. Their books and resources have pictures of humans/animals but with the faces blocked out or blurred.
Answer
If the content of the books is of a permissible nature, then it is permissible. You should however scratch out the head completely.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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.
