Is it permissible to make and sell graphic television interstitial templates that are free of music and images of animate beings, knowing that the buyer is the one who adds the music and titles? And is it permissible to make visual representations for the Holy Quran (such as fire for torment and natural scenery for Paradise)? And is it permissible to make animated cartoons of animate characters as silhouettes that contain no details?
It is not permissible to sell items if it is known or highly probable that the buyer will use them for unlawful purposes, because of the Almighty's saying: (And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression). As for cartoon shadow images that are devoid of details and do not resemble Allah's creation, they are permissible.
