Question

There is this pakistani women's magazine that comes out every month called 'Pakeeza'. It contains both true and fictional stories, as well as health tips, recipes, etc. It also has numerous advertisements and photos and drawings of people. The stories are generally moralled stories and tend to have an Islamic moral to them. Is it permissible to read this magazine? Jazakallah!

Answer

Photos and drawing of animate objects is prohibited. Such a magazine is not a reflection of Islamic spirit and ethos.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
