Cartoon Drawing in Newspapers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to draw the cartoons found in newspapers? And are they among the permissible, harmless images?
Answer:
They are images of a face and an image of a human being. What distinguishes it from drawing so that we call it a cartoon does not take it out of the category of drawing. Yes, rather, this adds to the mockery of people and adds to the ridicule of people. Yes, it is an addition to drawing. Yes.
