Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Many people raise a doubt, which is that many preachers in the contemporary era used to view image-making as forbidden, but now they view it as permissible. Some of them view it as permissible absolutely, some of them absolutely, meaning it is permissible in all forms. So what is the reason for that, may Allah grant you success?
Answer:
Here we say: there is no proof except in the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for whoever contradicts the evidence, he is not a proof, whether he is a preacher or not. We demand evidence from him.
