What is the ruling on watching anime that contains mixing [of genders], without romance or insinuation of anything forbidden? And what is the ruling on watching anime if one of the young men in it wears a sports bracelet with no intention of imitation? And what is the ruling on fast-forwarding the scenes in which someone wearing this bracelet appears?

The reality of what is seen is unknown, but contemporary scholars have differed on watching cartoon films if they are free from corrupting elements. Some have prohibited them, while others have permitted them on condition that they are free from corrupting elements. The preponderant opinion is that they are permissible, and there is no harm in watching them if they are free from corrupting elements. The mere gathering of males and females in drawings or some of them wearing bracelets is not considered forbidden mixing unless it is in an objectionable manner or promotes something forbidden.
