Does image-making with modern devices fall under the prohibition of image-making?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is meant by the images about which the prohibition came, and that Allah cursed the image-makers? Do images made with modern devices fall under that?

Answer:
Yes, the generality of the text requires that every image, whether by photography, drawing, or sculpting, falls under the forbidden image-making, except for what is necessary. Image-making for necessity is permitted, but image-making for play or for art, as they call it, is not permissible. Yes.
