The ruling on pamphlets that depict matters of the unseen with the intention of instilling fear and terror, or otherwise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: It is well known that the terrors of the Day of Resurrection, such as the Sirat and the Scales, are unseen in their attributes, and no one knows them except Allah. Yet there are now, Honorable Shaykh, pamphlets that depict these terrors, and they contain drawings

Answer:
These are invalid. These are invalid, and the Permanent Committee has issued a warning against them because they are invalid depictions of matters of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. So it is, meaning, it is futile nonsense. They think that it contains instilling fear and encouraging good, but this is not permissible. This is not permissible; it is from futile nonsense. Yes.
