Using bathroom tiles which have drawings

Fatwa Date : Jumaadaa Al-Oula 1, 1431 / 15-4-2010

Question

We are trying to choose wall tiles for our bathrooms. Some of the tiles have drawings of flowers, shapes etc on them. Is it allowed in Islam to have tiles with designs on them or is it better to get plain ones. Jazakum Allah Khairan

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Pictures of non-living beings, like trees, flowers and rivers are permissible as we clarified in Fatwa 82040. Therefore, it is permissible for you to use the tiles that have flowers and other pictures of non-living beings.

Besides, we are not aware of any scholar who said that it is better to avoid the pictures that the Sharee’ah permitted us to use.

Allaah Knows best.
