Is having a profile picture of a video game or cartoon character Haram? For example Bart Simpson or Mario? Since they are technically drawings
Answer
Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
They fall under digital photography, and hence, a person should not keep these as his profile picture.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best
Wassalaam,
