Religiously Compromising Emojis

Question: Is it permissible to use religiously compromising emojis?

Answer:

Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Dear questioner,

Thank you for your important question.

Using religiously compromising emojis, such images/cartoons of something profane, insulting, or theologically incorrect, is not permissible.

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, ‘The believer does not stab people in the back, nor does supplicate he against them, nor does he talk about that which is immoral or disgusting’ (Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban).

I pray this helps.
