I have read your knowledgebase regarding the use and viewing of pictures.

Whilst it is haraam to take or look at pictures, I wanted to know if there was any leniency for people like me who use pictures of males and females to help sell my products.

For an example, see my website at www.shifttrading.com

I have a set of pictures which I use to bring about an emotional reaction in the mind of the reader so that they are more likely to purchase my product.

Is this allowed?

If not, I will have to remove the pictures from my website.



Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah's guidance)



No, It will not be permissible.



And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Mufti
