What is the ruling on working in a company that prints pictures and publications specific to churches and Christians, and is it obligatory to leave this job?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to photograph animate beings, especially if it involves exaggeration, as this constitutes aiding in sin and spreading misguidance. It is also forbidden to deal with Christians by printing such things for them. A Muslim must stay away from this work, and if compelled to leave the job, he should do so to safeguard his religion and the legitimacy of his earnings.
