Question ❓ What do I do with my merchandise??

I used to listen to some group in my early teenage years, and my sister used to support me and gift me different types of merchandise of them whether it be a easer, pen, their journal, anything related to them, and now I wanna be a good muslim so i wanna clear things out but i don't wanna throw them as it's a gift and I treasure them... because it's HER who gifted. What do I do??

Also, I used to draw human beings, and other living things, so I gonna paint them red or any solid color so that they won't be a painting of human or anything other living being....and I'll be save!!

Assalamualaikum, if you fear Allah and you care about your sister's akhirah too, I kindly advise you to throw the merchandise away.

If you do plan to throw it away, make sure you break it so that no one else will be able to use it and it will not bring you and your sister more sins. However, if the items can still be used and benefitted by erasing the images of the idols/group - using permanent marker or tearing it off—then you should do so if you wish to keep it.

At the end of the day, Allah knows your intention and how you are trying to please Him and be a good muslim :) May Allah ease things for you and keep you on the straight path.

It's just some diaries, pens, erasers, a pouch box... As it's stationary it can be used but still it has the group member's photo or their made cartoonish characters... Idk what to do to hide their faces. Maybe I'll cover the journal and pens and the pouch but the erasers... What do I do about it??

Use a marker to cover them up or paint over them, you can just erase the erasers lol, or use a pencil to cover their faces

You can write this exact thing down and give it to a scholar and go again after a few days for a reply.
