Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We see on some advertisements on the covers of cassettes for some preachers drawings of rivers and crops if the discussion is about Paradise, and they draw a shadow claiming to imitate the shadow of Satan if the talk is about evil. Are these actions permissible?
Answer:
No, these are not permissible. This involves depicting the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. No one knows Paradise except Allah, and no one knows the Fire except Allah. It is not permissible to depict the Fire on paper, or to depict Paradise, or the Sirat, like the paper that is distributed now and placed in mosques, which has an image of Paradise, an image of the Fire, and an image of the Sirat, and I do not know how. This is absolutely not permissible, and this is ignorance. Yes.
