The third question of Fatwa No. ( 8006 )
Q 3: What is the ruling on drawing images of living beings? The answer, without a doubt, is that it is forbidden, and it is not permissible for Muslims, nor for any Muslim, to do this. However, I was unable to convince the teacher of this. I told him: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 2109a, and Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says to the owner of the image: "Blow into it a soul." And O professor, if you want to draw, draw for example a tree, a house, a shoe, a book, etc., on the condition that the drawing is not three-dimensional and does not symbolize souls, etc. But he—may Allah guide him—is not convinced. He says: "Give me evidence from the Noble Qur'an." I said: "The Prophetic Sunnah and the Noble Qur'an, each complements the other, and the Sunnah is what our Prophet (may the best of prayers and peace be upon him) brought. And you, I seek refuge in Allah, are not convinced by what our Prophet (may the best of prayers and peace be upon him) brought." I ask for an answer to these questions so that I can give every questioner his due. And I told him: "The scholars are the heirs of the prophets," etc. And he said to me: "I do not know evidence except from the Noble Qur'an." I ask Allah to guide everyone to what He loves and is pleased with. O Allah, amen, O Lord of the Mighty Throne. .
A 3: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions. After that:
The rulings of the Shari'ah are taken from the Qur'an just as they are taken from the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); for Allah the Exalted said:[An-Nur 24:54], and He said: [An-Nur 24:54], and He said: [Ali 'Imran 3:31], and He said: [An-Nisa 4:65], the verse, and He said: [An-Nisa 4:80], and He said: [An-Nisa 4:115], and He said: [An-Najm 53:3-4], the verses, and He said: [An-Nahl 16:44], and He said:
[Al-Hashr 59:7], and so on from the Qur'anic verses indicating the obligation to act upon what is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in terms of hadiths. Authentic hadiths have been narrated from him regarding the prohibition of drawing images of living beings and the threat of severe punishment for the drawers on the Day of Resurrection. Among these is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 2109a, agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. And in (Sahih al-Bukhari) , from Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): Musnad Ahmad 1364Hasan because of corroborating evidence; this is a da'eef isnad] (Darussalam), and he cursed the drawer. The hadiths on this matter are numerous. We ask Allah to guide your teacher and inspire him with right guidance. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

أشد الناس عذابًا يوم القيامة المصورونA 3: Praise be to Allah alone, and blessings and peace be upon His Messenger, his family, and his Companions. After that:
The rulings of the Shari'ah are taken from the Qur'an just as they are taken from the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); for Allah the Exalted said:
Say, "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger
قُلْ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَbut if you turn away - then upon him is only that [duty] with which he has been charged, and upon you is that with which you have been charged. And if you obey him, you will be [rightly] guided. And there is not upon the Messenger except the [responsibility for] clear notification."
فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْهِ مَا حُمِّلَ وَعَلَيْكُمْ مَا حُمِّلْتُمْ وَإِنْ تُطِيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا وَمَا عَلَى الرَّسُولِ إِلا الْبَلاغُ الْمُبِينُSay, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you
قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُBut no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among
فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْHe who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah
مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَAnd whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows other than the way of the believers - We will give him what he has taken and drive him into Hell, and evil it is as a destination.
وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا(3) Nor does he speak from [his own] inclination. (4) It is not but a revelation revealed,
وَمَا يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى (3) إِنْ هُوَ إِلا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىAnd We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them
وَأَنْـزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُـزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْAnd whatever the Messenger has given you - take; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُواthe most grievously tormented people on the Day of Resurrection would be the painters of pictures
أشد الناس عذابا يوم القيامة المصورونthat The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed the one who consumes riba, the one who pays it
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لعن آكل الربا وموكله
