Q: We have always been taught not to wear moorat/clothing with eyes and animate objects on them. We have been told recently that if an object like a cartoon character even if it be a car has eyes drawn/painted on it, is then not considered as moorat. This is because a car is not an animate object. Is this correct?
Q: My question is that is it a major sin or a minor sin to keep pictures of animate objects in the house? I know that it must be avoided, but I was having a discussion with my family about this, and now I am very curious as to whether this comes in category of major sins or minor sins? (These photos were taken by someone else, I am asking about keeping them in the house).

Q: The process adopted in live video streaming is no different to any other conventional picture. The only difference is that it is being captured and reproduced in such quick succession through modern day technology that one feels that one is watching it as it's happening, whereas this is not the case..... This was part or your response to a question. The thought just passed through my head what about cctv cameras? In the office, shop and home? Is it jaiz to have it?
Q: There is a website that provides live streaming from the cameras within Makkah and Medina Shareef. Other than this live streaming, no other content is shown. I understand there is a difference of opinion in this matter, so I am uncertain as it will be permissible to view it.
