What is the ruling on an advertising newspaper or magazine that does not market prohibited items, but includes pictures of animate beings, and is it permissible to continue with it after its owner's death?
Advertising is impermissible if it involves anything unlawful, such as an impermissible medium or promoting something forbidden. However, if it is free from such elements, then it is permissible.
Photographic imaging is a matter of dispute among contemporary scholars, and at its least, it is a doubtful matter that should be avoided.
A newspaper is an inheritance to be distributed among the heirs, and it is not permissible to donate it on behalf of the deceased unless they consent. If the heirs agree to donate it, they will be rewarded for that. However, if the manner of charity is replaced with something more beneficial and further removed from doubt, that is more preferable.
