Image-making to illustrate the conditions of Muslims in poverty and hunger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people use image-making to illustrate the conditions of Muslims in poverty and hunger. Is this a dire necessity?
Answer:
No, one can explain the conditions of Muslims with words. A person speaks about what he witnessed and what he saw. Words suffice for the explanation. We do not exploit the forbidden means by saying, "We do it to clarify things for people," because we have what suffices for it, which is explanation through words.
