If the owner of an image stipulates that its source must be mentioned when quoting or displaying it, then it is not permissible to use it without mentioning the source, in observance of intellectual property rights and academic honesty. Adding to or modifying a quoted image does not make it permissible to omit mentioning the source, as long as the original image remains identifiable. As for placing images of the rosary in designs, it is permissible, as there is no harm in using them.
