Having Fictional Characters as Online Profile Picture

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwaa.com

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,
