Question:
A number of brothers are asking about your opinion on image-making, whether you had an opinion regarding your retraction from it, and what is the ruling on image-making in the mosque?
Answer:
Why did you retract from it? I did not retract from it. Image-making is forbidden (haram). I say it now, and I am praying. What did he retract from? Do I have a statement on this because image-making is lawful? Is image-making permissible? The one who says this should present my statement and provide it in writing or with my voice. As for fabricating against people and lying to people, that is not permissible. Yes.
