Q:
1. Are silhouettes of people (pictures of people in black, without the face having nose, eyes, etc.) considered tasaweer and haraam?
2. Similarly, are emoticons that are made up of symbols like =, (), :, etc. as compared to emoticons that are obviously tasaweer also considered haraam?
A:
1. On account of the resemblance with the tasweer this should also be stopped.
2. If they have facial features then they are impermissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
