I’m an architect and a product designer from india, and me along with 3 of my non muslim friends are working on establishing a furniture design studio. So along with furnitures we design sculptures as well. My friends have been working on a adiyogi sculpture (shiva) and are determined to introduce it to the market. And I can't put my mind straight as to if for me as a muslim is this going to be shirk that my company is selling shiva sculptures. And if yes what can I do about it. Should I ask them not to divide the payment with me for all these sculptures sold?

As a Muslim, you cannot be involved in making and selling such sculptures. You can tell them to separate the earnings from the sculptures and you would not receive anything from the earnings, nor will you be involved in making them. If you do that, you can continue to be their partners.
