Reflected images in a mirror are not forbidden (); rather, they are temporary images that disappear when the person moves away. They differ from the forbidden fixed photography. The Permanent Committee has issued a stating that these images are "a reflection that vanishes when the person moves away from the mirror." As for cartoon films, scholars have differed concerning them, and the prevalent opinion is that they are permissible with certain conditions.
