Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on image-making?
Answer:
Is the ruling on image-making hidden from you? Even though there are authentic, clear hadiths regarding its prohibition and the warning against it, and there are also fatwas and books written on the matter, the issue has become clear and there is no doubt in it. The recorded fatwas of the scholars do not require it to be asked about now. It is forbidden and not permissible except in cases of dire necessity. If dire necessity requires it, it is limited to the extent of that necessity. As for image-making for art or for memories, or for this, it is not permissible. Yes.
