Photographs are a matter of scholarly disagreement regarding their ruling, with the preponderant opinion being that they are not prohibited. As for hand-drawn images, they are prohibited if they depict a complete-featured living being. However, they are not prohibited if a vital part is removed such that life cannot be sustained, or if they are in a state of disfigurement. Images that are not intended for veneration, such as those on product packaging and medicine boxes, are permissible due to their widespread use and their unintended nature. Therefore, there is no harm in purchasing or keeping these boxes at home.
