The ruling on drawing a verse of the Qur'an in the shape of a musical instrument
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
What is Your Eminence's opinion on an artist who draws the words of Allah the Exalted, "And when he spoke,"[Al-Mu'minun 23:101] in the image of a musical instrument?
Another questioner:
There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Magnificent.
The Shaykh:
This is an error and should not be done, because this was not witnessed or known. Forcing this matter is a type of lying, a type of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) against Allah, and a boldness toward Him.
Another questioner:
Shaykh, well, he... put the pocket now. This is in the shape of the image, meaning the blowing.
The Shaykh:
It is sufficient to remind people of what Allah and His Messenger said, so there is no need for that. Allah knows its reality best. The verses that are distributed do not resemble these things in this world. It is a great barrier, a great barrier that does not resemble these things that are shown to people.
What is Your Eminence's opinion on an artist who draws the words of Allah the Exalted, "And when he spoke,"
the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.
