Lahore High Court to take up plea against use of Benazir's image on coins

Lahore, Jan 7 : The Lahore High Court (LHC) Registrar's Office
has fixed the hearing of a petition that seek directions for
the government to stop issuing a coin with the image of former
Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

The hearing will be held on January 13 as an objection case,
the Daily Times reports.

Earlier, the office had returned the petition with the
objection that the Islamabad High Court was the proper forum
to file this petition.

The petitioner, Asim Bhatti, submitted that such a coin
would set a precedent for future governments to issue coins
with images of their party leaders.

He said that only Quaid-e-Azam and Allama Iqbal's images
should be retained.

Isn't the making of any image of any person forbidden under Islam?

Nope!
Only the image of the prophet and other "saints".
