The ruling on the impermissibility of sexually explicit animated films and everything that aids in their production, translation, display, or dissemination. Whoever assists in their dissemination is a partner in sin with the viewer. However, merely watching, disseminating, or translating them does not constitute disbelief, nor does it make the doer an apostate thereby.
