Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the answer to the one who says that the image-making forbidden in the hadith is only drawing by hand or carving, because that is what existed in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
The answer is that this is from his own pocket; this is his own talk. He needs evidence. The general hadiths, the hadith of the Messenger, and the Qur'an are for every time and every place. They are not specific to his time (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger encompassed whom? Every image-maker in the beginning of the world or in its end? Every image-maker. Yes.
