There is a printed poster about the terrors of the Day of Resurrection, which includes images of Paradise and Hellfire. Is it permissible to rebuke those who hang it up?

Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: There is a printed poster about the Hereafter and the terrors of the Day of Resurrection, which includes images of Paradise and Hellfire. Some people hang it up in the mosques. What is your view on this matter? And is it permissible to rebuke those who hang it up?

Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to rebuke those who hang it up, because this is an image of the Hereafter, Paradise, and Hellfire, and this is something that no one knows except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). No one knows Paradise except Allah, no one knows Hellfire except Allah, and no one knows the Sirat except Allah. We do not enter into matters of the unseen and depict them for people. This is not permissible. We believe in these things and affirm them, but we do not depict them for people. This is an innovated matter that was not known before, and it is not permissible to hang it up in the mosques. People do not fear unless Hellfire is depicted for them. Is not the word of Allah and the word of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), along with the promise and the warning, sufficient? Yes, this is a mistake. Yes, Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
