Is the prohibition of images specific to three-dimensional ones, or is it general for all of them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : You mentioned three-dimensional images and flat images. If we draw an image and leave its space empty, leaving it on paper or on a wall or a pillar...?
The Shaykh : Everything that is an image falls under the generality of the hadithsSahih Muslim 2110b whether it is three-dimensional or flat. If you look at it and say, "This is an image representing so-and-so or such-and-such an animal," these are images.
The questioner : Three-dimensional ones, and they have a verse from the Qur'an on them.
The Shaykh : Meaning, there is nothing on the head.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : We do not see any objection to that, due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): The reverence comes from the head, not from the tail. Teacher al-Banna, Shaykh al-Banna, right now... May Allah reward you with good, may Allah do you good, allow us.
The questioner : No problem, it is an important question.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The Shaykh : Everything that is an image falls under the generality of the hadiths
He who painted pictures in the world would be compelled to breathe soul in them on the Day of Resurrection

The image is the head.
