What is the ruling on drawing purposeful anime to counter Japanese anime, and drawing regular anime for entertainment? Is it permissible to draw female characters without hijab inside their homes in purposeful stories? Should anime characters be drawn during prayer, or is it sufficient to depict them only entering the mosque? What is meant by drawing animate beings? Does the ruling on drawing purposeful anime differ from drawing it for entertainment and as a hobby? What is the ruling on earning from selling purposeful comic books? Is it permissible to address current events concerning Muslims in a comic book? If drawing anime is haram, must all drawings be torn up, and is the artist sinful if unable to tear up some of them?

The fundamental principle, according to the majority of scholars, is the prohibition of drawing living beings. However, purposeful animated stories and films are permissible. There is no objection to drawing anime that promotes acts of worship and noble morals, benefits youth, and diverts them from bad anime, nor to depicting the tragedies of Muslims and drawing worshippers. There is also no objection to drawing girls without hijab, provided the drawing is not alluring. Earning money from selling permissible animated drawings is allowed. There is no impediment to incorporating recreational aspects, provided they do not exceed the limits of religious law. Prohibited images should not be torn up but rather effaced, by erasing the facial features. If you are unable to efface them, there is no sin upon you.
