Keeping fashion pictures to use in dressing before Mahrams
Assalaamu alaykum. In fatwa no. 351643, I read that such cartoons do not fall in the same category as looking at real images. But in fatwa no. 88793, such pictures are forbidden. From what I read, I assume that the latter is forbidden because it is pornographic and has bad influences? Please clarify this, so that I do not misunderstand. Also, I like.. More

Muslim playing role of non-Muslim in films
My friend was a Muslim who used to act in movies. I saw him portray a non-Muslim in some of the films which he acted in.

His intention was pure, as he told me that he only did this for the sake.. More

Name of website does not affect ruling on buying from it
Assalaamu alaykum. Is Amazon.com haram? The reason I am asking is because it is named after the Amazon river, and the Amazon river is named after a pagan story. Does this mean that Amazon.com is haram? And if so, do I have to get rid of the stuff I bought from there?

Ruling on playing 'Pokemon'
Assalamu alaykum. I am wondering about the video game called Pokemon. What is the scholars' opinion at Islamweb concerning the game?
