Q: On groups, a photo was circulating of girls without scarves on the beach with scary figures behind them. My question is, can a picture be taken of a jinn?

Q: My mother purchased a trolley online which will help her when she buys groceries. We could choose different designs and one of the designs was one which had multiple prints of cartoon owls on them. We didn’t buy that one and opted for a suitable one but the owl one was mistakenly delivered. Is it permissible to keep it? I don’t want to go through the hassle of having it returned because it is a big product and I think with bigger products we need to pay more for it to be returned.

Q: I’d like to ask if eating at a table where one of your family members (female) is watching football considered as being in a place of sin? What can I do as the family member won’t listen to me about the haraam action of watching males?

3. Drawing cartoons with very unrealistic features for example a triangle for a nose and dots for eyes.

4. Drawing humans without a face.

Q: I embraced Islam a few years ago. When I was a non-muslim, I was quite a well-known figure and there are pictures of me everywhere. After I embraced Islam, I tried my best to delete what I could, but it is impossible to delete all. There are hundreds of people who might have my pics and I wouldn't even know about it. So is it a sin for me?
