Denial in Matters of Disagreement
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the adornment of the Shaykh: some of them do not deny to the one who depicts images, on the grounds that there is no denial in matters of disagreement,
The Shaykh:
meaning the disagreement where the evidence has not become clear, where the evidence has not become clear with either of the opposing parties. As for the disagreement where the evidence has become clear with one of the opposing parties, it is obligatory to take the evidence; it is not obligatory to say, "There is disagreement in this." There is disagreement in this, but the evidence has become clear. And Allah, Exalted and Majestic is He, says:[An-Nisa 4:59] [An-Nisa 4:59]. If the evidence becomes clear, no one has a say, and it does not come to him that the issue or speech is [such], and know that what you are doing is contrary to the evidence; it is not permissible. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
And he said, "The evidence for its prohibition, and the one who opposes has no evidence and no sharpness except for speech from himself and reasoning from himself; the evidence is with the one who forbade image-making."

And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day
فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِThat is the best [way] and best in result.
