Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. In his second question he says: If a person repents from the work of image-making, what is obligatory for him to do?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to destroy the images he has, if he has images that he made or drew, he must hasten to destroy them and get rid of them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Do not leave an image except that you obliterate it,” so he must hasten to destroy them and get rid of them. It is not permissible for him to sell them, and they are forbidden.
