Is it permissible to sell foodstuffs on whose packaging is the image of a mosque or a person, knowing that people throw these packages in the trash?
The image of the mosque is an Islamic symbol of high standing. If its placement on boxes is intended to demean and belittle the religion, then it is not permissible, and it may even lead to apostasy. If it is merely for decoration, then it is better to avoid it due to the possibility of the boxes being discarded in waste. As for placing a picture of a person, it is forbidden if it is hand-drawn. As for photographic images, there is a difference of opinion regarding them, and it is better to avoid them to steer clear of controversy, especially if it is not of a woman displaying what is not permissible to display.
