Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to use images in presentations if necessary, while limiting their use to the extent of the necessity. It is stipulated that they do not show anything that arouses lust or the allurements of women. If the face is blurred, the image is not considered to exist, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The image is the head, so if the head is cut off, there is no image." This is with the emphasis that the rest of the image should not arouse lust.
