Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is known regarding the use of will in image-making?
Answer:
It is not permissible to make images by any means. It is not permissible by camera, nor by drawing with the hand, nor by sculpting. Image-making is forbidden due to the generality of the prohibition against it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited image-making in general and did not specify a particular type of it. Rather, he prohibited image-making in general without regard to the means by which the image is made.
