Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people use image-making to clarify the conditions of Muslims, such as poverty and starvation. Is this a dire necessity?
Answer:
No, this is not a dire necessity, because the conditions of Muslims can be explained with words. A person speaks about what he witnessed and what he saw, and words are sufficient. Words are sufficient, so we do not need to resort to the forbidden means. We say, "In order to clarify things for people," but we have something that suffices in its place, which is explanation through words. Yes.
