Making colouring books with no haraam elements
Question
I would like to know if it is permissible to make colouring books to sell provided that it has no haraam elements in it whatsoever. The books would be marketed to adults specifically as there’s quite a market for it. People find it quite therapeutical and reduces anxiety.
Answer
If there are no haraam elements in the book and there are also no pictures of animate objects in the book ( i.e. there are only non animate pictures in the book), then it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
