What Should Be Done with a Blanket That Has an Image of a False Deity?


Answered by Shaykh Yusuf Weltch

Question

What should be done with a blanket that has an image of a false deity—can it be folded to hide the image, or must it be destroyed?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate

Ideally, such a blanket is removed from the home. However, if you are in financial straits and would find it difficult to get rid of such a blanket, it should be folded so that the image is not apparent.

Hope this helps
Allah knows best
