The questioner : The first question: In the profession of knitting, most of the time in children's clothing, I mean...
The Shaykh : Okay, I remember... I meant.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : To be a help for me in remembering. This is a question whose answer is in "Sahih al-Bukhari," do you know?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : A man came to him, I mean Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): A man came to him and said: O Ibn Abbas, my earnings are from the craft of my hands with these images and statues. He said to him: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said; what is the hadith?
The questioner : May Allah curse.
The Shaykh : No,Mishkat al-Masabih 4507.
The questioner : .
The Shaykh : The beginning of the hadith.
The questioner : .
The ShaykhSahih Muslim 2110b, he narrated this hadith to him first to turn him away, and others as well, to turn him and others who come after him, even after a long time, from engaging in the forbidden cause to obtain sustenance. He said to him after narrating the hadith: , this is your answer. As for your saying, as for your saying that if he does not make these images and statues, his goods will not sell, this is because you are looking at the non-Islamic environment. But if you looked at the Muslim environment, for the sake of Allah, you would have customers of another type who inspect these clothes that contain permissible images, which are merely... forbidden images. At that time, the truth of what I am saying comes: [At-Talaq 65:2-3] Perhaps you know the verse, please.
The questioner : If you allow me, O my Shaykh, this story, our Shaykhs advised me about it, and praise be to Allah, for about more than six or seven years I left it and changed the profession, I converted to the profession of sewing.
The Shaykh : I do not mean.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Just as you mean by the question others.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So I mean by the answer others as well. And this is good. The second question, what was it?
The Shaykh : Okay, I remember... I meant.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : To be a help for me in remembering. This is a question whose answer is in "Sahih al-Bukhari," do you know?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : A man came to him, I mean Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father): A man came to him and said: O Ibn Abbas, my earnings are from the craft of my hands with these images and statues. He said to him: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said; what is the hadith?
The questioner : May Allah curse.
The Shaykh : No,
blows a spirit into it, and he will never be able to do that
نفخ فيه الروح وليس بنافخThe questioner :
on the Day of Resurrection
يوم القيامةThe Shaykh : The beginning of the hadith.
The questioner :
whoever makes an image
مَن صوَّر صورةThe Shaykh
He who painted pictures in the world would be compelled to breathe soul in them on the Day of Resurrection, but he would not be able to breathe soul (in them).
مَن صوَّرَ صورةً كُلِّفَ أن ينفخَ فيها الروح يوم القيامة وليس بنافخٍIf it is unavoidable, then make trees and stones, and what has no spirit
فإن كان ولا بد فاصنع الشجر والحجر ، وما لا روح فيهAnd whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out (3) And will provide for him from where he does not expect.
وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا * وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُThe questioner : If you allow me, O my Shaykh, this story, our Shaykhs advised me about it, and praise be to Allah, for about more than six or seven years I left it and changed the profession, I converted to the profession of sewing.
The Shaykh : I do not mean.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Just as you mean by the question others.

The Shaykh : So I mean by the answer others as well. And this is good. The second question, what was it?
