What is the ruling on the commission received by a limousine driver from owners of tourist product shops in exchange for bringing foreign customers, knowing that it reaches half or more?
The manufacturing and selling of statues of animate beings (humans and animals) is not permissible, whether they are of leaders or symbolize an abstract concept. This is because it involves forbidden imagery and serves as a means to idol worship. This is supported by prophetic hadiths, such as his (peace be upon him) saying: "The people who will be most severely punished on the Day of Resurrection are the imagemakers," and "Allah has cursed the imagemaker." Accordingly, it is not permissible to act as an intermediary for them or to take commission for them. Whoever has done so must repent and spend the commission on charitable causes.
