Pretending to be professional graphic designer

· 25 Safar 1443 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I work in a company which works for streamers and youtubers and provide them gaming stuff. They also do vector art and make animals logo which is prohibited. My work is only that to sell that logo but to the client I pretend to be professional graphic designer though I am not! So I just want to ask that is it permissible to do so?

Answer

To pretend to be what you are not is not right. However, if you know graphic designing then it is permissible for you to show yourself at the level that you know it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Is working in graphic design, IT or marketing permissible?

“In principle, if there is no law of Shariah that is violated in studying graphic design, i.e. it is studied within the confines of one’s home (online) without any animate pictures and videos, then it will be permissible to study…”
