The Ruling on Depicting the Characters of the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I listened to an Islamic series on some Arab radio stations, in which a group of actors portray the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them): 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, Abu 'Ubaydah 'Amir ibn al-Jarrah, and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf. Is it permissible for them to portray the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
It is not permissible. A statement has been issued regarding this matter by the rulers, the Media Commission, the Council of Senior Scholars, and the League (the Islamic League). All of these have stated that depicting the Companions is not permissible.
