What is the ruling on laser imaging?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Three-dimensional [imaging] does not fall under this.
The Shaykh : Meaning,
The questioner : Laser imaging is three-dimensional, meaning you see a man in front of you, but it is an illusion consisting of three dimensions that you see in the object.
The Shaykh : We do not know about this, or these are things we do not know about; their manufacture is precise, and we do not know it, but there is no doubt that it is not like what is drawn by hand. What is drawn by hand is undoubtedly creative and is called good, and it is attributed to the fact that the artist has the ability to create or shape an image, like the creation of Allah the Exalted. As for this, it is not to be considered.
