    Exclamation Smilie Ruling from AskImam

    http://askimam.org/fatwa/fatwa.php?a...9c0cab045d1e99

    In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

    There are numerous authentic narrations that prove the impermissibility of pictures of animate objects. In fact, due to the vast amount of Ahadith, scholars mention that it has reached the level of tawatur ma’nawi. Furthermore, the Ahadith in this regard are mutlaq (general).

    Based on above, our illustrious Fuqaha have ruled that ALL types of pictures are haraam; irrespective whether they are small or big. Thus, one should refrain from using all type smilies.

    As for a colon and parenthesis, it does not fall under the same category of tasweer. Hence, a person may opt for this as an alternative to express his emotions.



    حاشية ابن عابدين - (ج 1 / ص 647 دار الفكر للطباعة والنشر)

    قلت لكن مراد الخلاصة اللبس المصرح به في المتون بدليل قوله في الخلاصة بعد ما مر أما إذا كان في يده وهو يصلي لا يكره وكلام النووي في فعل التصوير ولا يلزم من حرمته حرمة الصلاة فيه بدليل أن التصوير يحرم ولو كانت الصورة صغيرة كالتي على الدرهم أو كانت في اليد أو مستترة أو مهانة مع أن الصلاة بذلك لا تحرم بل ولا تكره لأن علة حرمة التصوير المضاهاة لخلق الله تعالى وهي موجودة في كل ما ذكره



    حاشية ابن عابدين - (ج 1 / ص 648 دار الفكر للطباعة والنشر.)

    قوله ( أو مقطوعة الرأس ) أي سواء كان من الأصل أو كان لها رأس ومحي وسواء كان القطع بخيط خيط على جميع الرأس حتى لم يبق له أثر أو يطليه بمغرة أو بنحته أو بغسله لأنها لا تعبد بدون الرأس عادة وأما قطع الرأس عن الجسد بخيط مع بقاء الرأس على حاله فلا ينفي الكراهة لأن من الطيور ما هو مطوق فلا يتحقق القطع بذلك وقيد بالرأس لأنه لا اعتبار بإزالة الحاجبين أو العينين لأنها تعبد بدونها وكذا لا اعتبار بقطع اليدين



    فيض الباري شرح صحيح البخاري - (ج 2 / ص 133)

    وله: (أو تصاوير) عطف على المعنى. كما في «المغني»، أن العطف قد يكون على اللفظ، وقد يكون على المعنى، وقد يكون على التوهم.

    واعلم أن هناك ثلاث مسائل: الأولى: فعل التصوير، وهو حرامٌ، صغيرًا كان أو كبيرًا.)

    والثانية: حكم التصاوير في الصلاة. وحاصل ما في المتون: أن لا بأس بالمُمتَهن والصغيرة جدًا، بحيث لا تبدو للناظر وإلا كرهت.

    والثالثة: لُبْس الثوب المصور.

    وراجع التفصيل من «الفتح» لابن الهُمَام من مكروهات الصلاة، و «الموطأ» لمحمد بن الحسن.

    Salaam, Brother.

    Therefore, isn't the onus on the Moderators (to 'rid of' the smilies) ?

    I recall a fatwa speaking about less than a thumb size picture being allowed...

    I would have thought the decision to prohibit 'smilies', would be regardless of the size of the image ?

    Interesting topic. I'm sure the scholars here did their research on this before allowing smilies.

    I also remember this one, and for some reason I also remember it coming from askimam (or maybe when it was islam.tc)

    What do you mean?

    According to the fatwa, smilies like : frown: are not allowed but those like: ) are.

    Yes but, most programmes or forum boards, when you type in the actual colon and parenthesis it converts it to a smiley face. Unless there is a feature that prevents it from converting it of course.
