The Ruling on Depicting Paradise and Hellfire in Means of Da'wah

Question:
And it is not Shaytan. He asks: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, about this method of da'wah? They draw the gates of Hellfire on the bridge, and the fire burns within it to wake people up early.

Answer:
This is a theatrical performance; this is a theatrical performance. And this is speaking about matters of the unseen, and depicting matters of the unseen. This is not permissible. This was not the practice of the righteous Salaf. They did not make drawings or create gates. That means you have no faith and no knowledge, except that you see drawn gates and flames you see on the walls. On the day of... with that dullness, to what extent? Is the speech of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) not sufficient for you? Did Allah send down drawings, or did He send down verses to be recited?
So this reality is an imposition for which Allah has not sent down any authority, and it is not permissible, especially in matters of the unseen and the hidden. Some people depict Paradise, depict Hellfire, and place people in Paradise who are laughing, and people in Hellfire who are weeping, and they have chains, and a sphere behind Paradise. We ask Allah for safety.
This is among the blunders that are not permissible. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
