Assalamu alaykum

Let me quote what br Mohtashim has said;

When a dollar (or a rupee) note with human picture falls on the floor and you are in salah, the ruling given was that since the image is not recognisable in standing posture, the salah is valid.

what brother mohtashim said has nothing to do with what you said about the permissibility of this stamp that has the image of a human face on it.

you said that your ulama say it is permissible because the image cannot be made out at a normal distance. i pointed out that the image CAN be made out at a normal distance.

i am not even debating the ruling about images being ok as long as they cannot be made out at a normal distance. if this is the stance of the hanafi madhab as understood by the ulama of deoband then i have no problem with it at all.

i am debating the point that the image on the stamp CAN be made out when viewed at a normal distance. i dont need an alim or a fatwa to tell me what i can see in front of my eyes. the whole point of the image on the stamp is so that it CAN be seen who it is and it CAN be recognised as a human face!
