Before stating the opinions of scholars regarding the issue, let us first shed some light on the meaning of the word “cupid”.. According to Microsoft Bookshelf dictionary (2000 Edition), “cupid” means Roman Mythology: The god of love; the son of Venus.
It’s impermissible for a Muslim to display pictures that show theological deviations and shirk.
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states: “We are only allowed to use this one as a cloth for the floor where we may be stepping on it or using it to wipe dust or filth. To use it in any other dignified way would be condoning shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is the most heinous of all sins in Islam.
You may, however, cut or disfigure the pictures and then use it as a tablecloth. In this way, the shirk issue does not arise.
