1- It is permissible to draw cartoon images if the purpose is to promote virtue and teach Islamic manners. However, Western cartoon films contain شرعية (Sharia-compliant) prohibitions, such as presenting superhuman powers that control the universe, advocating Christianity, or containing moral prohibitions. One must be careful with them, and there is no blame on anyone who burns them, whether they were permissible or forbidden.
2- There is no harm in praying in the fitting rooms found in commercial stores, because the entire earth is a masjid (place of worship) and pure.
