Ruling on immoral
magazines
Question

                What is the ruling on publishing magazines that carry pictures of women, ideas that go against Islam and interviews with female performers and women who are adorned with the adornment tabarruj of the
      modern jaahiliyyah ?
Praise be to Allah.The mutawaatir reports of the Sunnah show that 
  making pictures or images is absolutely haraam and those who make pictures are 
  cursed. Every maker of pictures will be in Hell, and every picture or image 
  that he made will be given a soul and he will be punished by it in Hell. The 
  makers of pictures will be the most severely punished of people. The picture-maker 
  will be told to breathe life into the images he made; they will be punished 
  and will be told, “Give life to that which you have created!” The 
  prohibition is multiplied if these pictures cause temptation, such as pictures 
  of naked women, or pictures of men with women. If that is haraam, then how about 
  the magazines that promote this and call people to temptation, immorality, promiscuity 
  and the means of doing wrong? Anyone who publishes such magazines, or sells 
  them, gives them as a gift or buys them, partakes in the sin. The Prophet  
  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed wine and the one who sells 
  it, the one who buys it, the one who makes it, the one for whom it is made, 
  the one who drinks it, the one who serves it, the one who carries it, the one 
  to whom it is carried, and the one who profits from it. The same applies to 
  these magazines, whose bad effect on people’s morals, chastity and religion 
  is sometimes worse than that of alcohol, especially when they contain deviant 
  ideas and news of female performers and women who adorn themselves in the manner 
  of jaahiliyyah. Publishing these magazines, writing articles for them, importing 
  them and publicizing them means that one is taking part in this corruption, 
  spreading immorality and calling for promiscuity, social disintegration and 
  deviation from correct morals and modesty. Our advice to anyone who wants to 
  attain salvation is to keep away from these magazines and have nothing to do 
  with them in the slightest, in the hope of saving oneself and keeping one’s 
  religion and honour safe. And Allaah knows best.
