What is the ruling on working in structural or architectural design for museums that display statues?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to manufacture, acquire, or display statues of living beings, and it is obligatory to remove them. Accordingly, it is not permissible to work in structural or architectural design for museums that display these statues, because that is considered aiding in sin and aggression. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
