What is the ruling on drawing flowers and roses? What is the ruling on the ponytail hairstyle and wearing its specific hair ties, knowing that the "unicorn horn" symbol, which resembles a ponytail, may be attributed to devil worshippers? Are circles and other geometric shapes such as triangles and crosses that may appear on products or in decorations, or the letter "t", considered symbols of disbelief that are forbidden to deal with or use, especially if they are associated with a specific symbolism among devil worshippers or Freemasonry? What is the ruling on benefiting from educational programs that contain suspicious symbols after removing them? What is the ruling on wearing white and black together, or pink and black together, if these colors are associated with devil worshippers?
It is permissible, according to the majority of scholars, to draw flowers and roses because they do not possess a soul. Similarly, styling hair is permissible as long as it is not exclusive to disbelievers. The criterion for imitation is that a Muslim does something specifically characteristic of disbelievers.
