Useful Magazines

Question :

I try very hard to keep up with new information by reading beneficial magazines. I benefit by reading them; however, the pictures in them bother me. Am I sinning if I buy those magazines, and if the answer is yes, what should I do when I finish reading them - keep them, as I might need them in the future, or burn them?

Answer:

You may read useful books and magazines, to obtain religious, moral, and literary benefits. As for the pictures, you may obliterate them with a marker or anything else, or keep the magazine in a locker or a drawer, and if you no longer need it, burn it.
