Others have permitted it if it adheres to guidelines, is free from prohibitions, and serves a legitimate Islamic interest. They consider it permissible because the default ruling for matters outside of worship is permissibility. This issue is subject to (independent reasoning) as there is no definitive text (nass) concerning it.
