Is it permissible to draw a cross as part of an architectural design for a colleague's house, or to put my name on a design that contains a cross that I did not draw?

It is not permissible to draw the cross due to what it contains of assisting in falsehood, and its making is forbidden. The maker of the cross is cursed, and whoever takes compensation for it should give it in charity and repent. It is better to apologize for this work and not put one's name on it; due to what it contains of resembling affirmation (of its validity).
