Question

1. Can we keep toys at home like dolls, micky, teddybear etc? And also what about photos, can we take photos of ours in Islam, can we store photos of children in mobile phone? 2. Can we download songs and hear in mobile? 3. Can a women do facials and bleech in islam

Answer

1. Photos, Pictures and animate objects: Picture frames and photographs of animate objects or animate objects/toys are not permissible. Pictures of inanimate objects e.g. trees, mountains, etc. are permissible. Ibn Abbas (RA) narrates, 'I heard the messenger of Allah saying, "Every picture-maker will be in the fire. A life will be created for every picture that the picture-maker made, and he will be tortured in Hell." If you have to make pictures (says Ibn Abbaas) then make a picture of a tree or such things which are inanimate.' (Bukhari and Muslim) 2. Downloading music or listening to music is forbidden as the prophet SAW has said " Music grows hypocrisy in the heart as water grows the crops."(Baihaqi) 3. It is permissable for a woman to use bleech to lighten facial hair or to do facials which cleanse the skin.

And Allah knows best.
