What is the ruling on using paper currency if it is forbidden to make images?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in using banknotes that bear images, due to their widespread use, and because these images are debased and intended only for their monetary value, and it is difficult to remove them. However, efforts should be made to ensure that currency is free of images, especially images of revered figures that could lead to their worship.
