Using mannequins
Q:
1. Is it permissible to use mannequins in order to display clothing in a store?
2. Is it permissible to use mannequins to display clothing in order to take pictures of the clothing for advertising purposes.
NB: mannequins are available in different variants, male, female, with face, headles, with or without the lower torso. Could Mufti Saheb please advise the ruling with regards to each option.
