Question

I am a photographer and would like to know if there is an issue with photographing children with pumpkins (I took photos and was told that it is forbidden because it reminds of some non-Jewish holiday). I would appreciate knowing if there is a halachic issue with this. Thank you very much.

Answer

Shalom Rav

There is no prohibition in this, as it is not something done specifically by Christians.

If there is a specific design that is done exclusively for idolatry, it should be avoided due to appearances, but generally, there is no problem with it.
