The questioner : A third question came to my mind.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : It is that this image contains an element of lying.
The Shaykh : Ah
The questioner : Because that did not happen; what happened was of this nature.
The Shaykh : I disagree with you on this point.
The questioner : Let me finish.
The Shaykh : Please go ahead.
The questioner : Then this was fabricated in this form and shape, meaning, so that it can be said that this invalidates that. Can this be said?
The Shaykh : It may be said, or it may not be said.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And I use "may" in its proper place.
The questioner : May, may.
The Shaykh : I say that this image, in itself, does indeed contain what you mentioned, but in my opinion, it represents the relationship of the human with this animal.
The questioner : It is possible.
The Shaykh : If that is the case, there is no falsification in it.
The questioner : Meaning, considering that this can happen at any time.
The Shaykh : This does not happen often.
Another questioner : Yes, my Shaykh, because in my view, my Shaykh, these two animals specifically...
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : They have... I mean, how...
The Shaykh : Enmity; there is enmity between them.
The questioner : There is enmity between them.
The Shaykh : And the truth is that this is a matter where, as you know, we say that image-making is permissible when words do not take the place of the depiction.
