There is no objection for a Muslim to use money and ID cards that have pictures of living beings, nor is there any objection for him to pray with them, and his prayer is valid; because he is considered to be in a state of necessity regarding this, just as necessity permits such matters, and some jurists are of the opinion that pictures on money are not forbidden because they are treated with disrespect.
