Is it permissible to carpet with rugs that have a tiger's image on them, and is it permissible to post a picture of one's son on Facebook?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The majority of scholars permit the use of images that are disrespected, trampled upon, and trodden underfoot, but it is preferable not to acquire them. As for placing images on Facebook and similar platforms, it is not permissible to keep them for remembrance, even if they are photographs, because angels do not enter a house in which there are images, and because they might be used in a forbidden matter or lead to their veneration.
