Is it permissible to edit images that contain living beings if they are illustrative drawings in an educational book for children, and the modification is limited to features such as lighting, background, and contrast, without changing the form or content?

Scholars have differed concerning the ruling on images of animate beings. Some have permitted what is deemed to have an overriding benefit, and this includes making an exception for children's toys. If the need for play has permitted the use of three-dimensional images, then purposeful educational images for children are even more deserving of permission, especially if they are photographic and not hand-drawn. Furthermore, some scholars have permitted educational cartoon films and stories with hand-drawn illustrations for children, as well as the use of images to teach deaf students matters of their religion.
