The comprehensiveness of the evidence for the prohibition of the types of image-making that have occurred

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, was image-making in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by carving, by drawing, or by photography? And did all of them exist so that the evidence would cover them?

Answer:
The Messenger came with general speech that includes all times and all eras until the Hour occurs. And taking the position on optical photography—everyone calls it image-making. So if they call it image-making and call it a picture, what takes it out of the texts? What takes it out of the texts? We say to them, what do you call this? We say this is a picture. We say to them, what do you call the capture? You call it image-making. What takes it out, then, of the texts of generality? Every image-maker is in the Fire? Bring us evidence, and we will not be afraid if you bring evidence from the speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). But you have no evidence. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says the rule and the general speech includes what happens until the Hour occurs. It all falls under it. He was given the summaries of speech (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes. Meaning, does every type of image-making have to exist after the Messenger? No. There are things that occurred after the Messenger that the ruling covers. Many things, because they fall under the rule and under the generality. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was given the summaries, so because his message is general until the Hour occurs, everything that happens until the Hour occurs falls under the statements of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Nothing is excluded from them. Now, travel in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a mount, but the airplane came, and the car came, and the ships came. Do we say this is not travel? Do we say this is not travel? No one says that. The speech of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the speech of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), and the speech of the Messenger is general in all circumstances and in all events until the Hour occurs. Yes.
