As salām alaykum wa-raḥmatu -llāhi wa barakātu I've seen a lot of opinions of every madhab and hadiths regarding drawing etc Yet the most logical and answer to drawing 2d is the Maliki madhab saying 2d is permissible as long without body or head or face features, Other opinions such as as long as it is not imitating Allahs creation or, it is seen to be worshipped or hanged on a wall is halal and it does not resemble human features like it would not have a soul or neck etc which makes it not alive is also seen permissible,yet I see other strictly and angrily giving advice by saying that people who draw animate being sich as humans or souls will be heavily punished on the day of judgement I wanted to personally ask if it's alright drawing just eyes, or drawing a head with eyes and mouth and hair but without the nose ears neck or body, like only the head with the human body or such, because I personally want to draw out of hobby and fun yet people harshly advice me on the Internet, I've been drawing eyes with hair but without a head mouth or nose ears etc since it doesn't resemble Allahs creation or because it has no life is it permissible? To draw it with shadows or with head but with No mouth or nose because it couldn't have a soul as it simply could not live like that I need to have context for it as I've seen alot of opinion because people take hadiths etc without context and harshly answer other people without knowing deeper Hadith that regarder that Hadith like which the ring of the sahaba had a lion or bird engraved into it or coins, other opinion say it is permissible as in the old time of sahabas and our prophet محمر sallalahu alayhm WA salam Pictures were mainly used for idol worshipping or engraved statues for worshipping or to resemble Allahs creation, yet I don't want to resemble Allah creation and I simply want to draw for fun and not having pride of it nor hang it or idolize it Please read all of it I've you mention one Hadith without context and with your opinion I will ignore it as I want a deeper opinion with more hadiths and meaning as I've seen more logical than mentioning one Hadith and one sahaba

Are Christian images of Jesus sacrilege?
If Islam prohibits depicting prophets, and consider Jesus a prophet (although not the biggest one), are all these images of Jesus in Christian hands some kind of sacrilege?

We know that drawing pictures of animate creatures is prohibited in Islam. The following hadeeth are very explicit. > Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) visited me after returning from a journey, and I had a shelf with a thin cloth curtain hanging over it and on which there were portraits. When he saw it, the colour of his face changed (because of anger) and he said, "O Aishah! The most grievous torment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be for those who imitate (Allah) in the act of His creation.' Aishah said: We tore it into pieces and made a cushion or two cushions out of that. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. > > Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Those who draw pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection; and it will be said to them: 'Breathe soul into what you have created.' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. > > Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) saying, "Every painter will go to Hell, and for every portrait he has made, there will be appointed one who will chastise him in the Hell.'" Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said: If you have to do it, draw pictures of trees and other inanimate things. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. However, is one allowed to draw images of humans and animals without drawing their eyes?

About drawing and making robots
as-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘Whoever makes an image in this world will be told to breathe the soul into it on the Day of Resurrection, and he w...
as-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him), who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘Whoever makes an image in this world will be told to breathe the soul into it on the Day of Resurrection, and he will never be able to do that.’” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim). He [Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him)] also narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every image-maker will be in the Fire, and every image that he made will be made to appear to him and will torment him in Hell.” Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “If you must do that, then make trees and things that have no soul.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim). I know that drawing living beings is not halal. But I do not know if the point is about *similarity* or *intention*. (I am developing games so as you know most of the video games includes living beings like human, animal, etc. so I needed a detailed explanation) **Abbaas said: “If you must do that, then make trees and things that have no soul"** So I really stuck in here and I wonder if I can draw living beings that is not similar to its real form (like a(n) body/arm/leg is not looking like a real one or drawing a robot or a 3d model of that) or the things that doesn't even have a real form in the world (I am asking the last part depending on this: if there is no living being as so in the world, because there is no living being like that then it cannot have a soul indeed). Or, is it still not halal because we are still drawing a living being (even if it is not looking like or even it actually is not existing) ? It can also be considered for making robots or 3d models of them. Robots are resembling humans in appearance because they may have arms, legs etc. But they are still not the exact same. Even they have legs their legs is not looking like a real skin. They are only made of cables etc. And it means that they have no soul actually. So I want to ask the same question for making robots or their 3d models or their drawings. Is it haram because it is resembling or is halal because it has no soul indeed? As a second question, is it halal to draw if the character I draw is fully dressed even his hands are covered with a glove or something so nothing can be seen? I am not drawing any living being for a long time since I made sure that it is not halal. So if it is halal, I will continue by drawing living things that is not looking like its original form or by drawing things that are not actually existing (like aliens, monsters etc.). If not I'll continue not to draw. Don't get me wrong I am not trying to find an excuse to draw. Just trying to understand clearly. So please tell me if it is not halal. I need it. I hope I could explain the point I am confused. Thanks a lot as-salamu alaikum

I am in a dilema. I feel so guilty and hence am seeking guidance here. I want to know what is the perfect definition of ''inanimate'' object according to Allah and Quran and My Prophet (PBUH). I am an animator. I create animation and that is my career. Since I came to know about the famous hadith about drawing living objects and It angers Allah and I will be asked on the judgement Day to give lives to whatever I drew since then I cant sleep. I was a sinner. I didnt pay much attention. But now I regret a lot and destroyed/deleted all my human, animal related animation drawing. And shifted my career into dead object animation, like map animation, chart, fashion desgining, kid's education related animation.... my question is Is a fruit inanimate object? or a leaf? A fruit? River? Sometimes I get offer to animated character of an olive! that Olive character walks, have eyes... etc.. like cartoon. Is that a sin? is that olive considered as an inanimate object? or not? giving it eyes, mouth, ears- etc --all these will anger Allah?? I need authentic reference and anythng that will help me. jajakallahu khairan

Issue around keeping image of deceased father in clinic

My father was a Unani Doctor. He passed away in July 2019. We are 2 brother and I am younger. My elder brother is 20 years older than me and practiced for some time with my father. Our clinic was on the ground floor of the house we lived. It's well known by my father's name/fame in the nearby cities. Patients recognised him. After his death, he took over the entire clinic and left me and my mother. Fortunately, half of the house where we lived was under my mother's name. As I was also in the same profession and completed my studies around the time of his death only, me and my mother started a new clinic in half of the house. Now there are 2 clinic's and both claim to be old place of my late father. Recently, my elder brother started keeping my father's image framed and hanged at several places within the clinic. This is affecting our business as patient's still come due to my father's name only and recognise the photo. Several people have advised to hang a photo in our clinic as well but we don't know if its right. Before my brother had started keeping my father's image, both of the clinic's were getting almost 50-50% of patients. Main Query: Is it ok for me to keep image of my deceased father hanged inside the clinic under the given circumstances as it has high impact on patients coming to my clinic?

Assalam allaikum, I have a question that came up to my mind when asking a question regarding video games. and I wanted to know if playing games that contain humans or other living creatures that are haram to draw haram to play? at first I didn't think this was haram because watching cartoons with living creatures isn't haram since you didn't make them according to sheikhs and scholars. I thought that video games may fall under the same concept but I wanted to confirm it first.

Salamu Alaikum, I have known for a while now that drawing humans, animals, or any living thing is haram. My siblings and I used to draw, but we don't anymore. However, my little brother still does digital art occasionally. I am a writer and write fiction (nothing haram, mostly educational). For my books, I need book covers. My first book had an AI-generated cover. For my second book, I had my brother create some art that I'm using for marketing. I didn’t think much about it at the time, or else I wouldn't have asked him to do it. But now I’m wondering if it is haram too. It is a drawing of a boy and a girl, both have faces. If t is haram, will we be accumulating bad deeds for every printed copy of the book? Or am I overthinking this? The book hasn’t been published yet — only five copies have been printed so far — so I can still change the cover if necessary. I just want to make sure I’m not doing anything wrong and seek guidance on this matter. DO i need to change the cover to something that doesn't contain faces. What are the rulings? What if I have I'm remove t faces and make it a faceless drawing? Can I do a silhouette of a face? Jazakallahu Khair

As-salamu alaykum, the title says itself but I want to clarify what I mean by this. I wanted to buy myself a drawing tablet and since our friends like to do roleplaying, mostly Dungeons and Dragons roleplay. They drew how their characters looked for that session. So I was thinking about it, but drawing animate beings is haram. And I have been searching on this on the internet and from my view I got mixed results. Some say its permissible, some say its not, some say its permissible under these circumstances (avoiding to draw the face, eyes, nose etc.). So I came here to ask: Is digital drawing characters, for the purposes of this roleplay permissible or not?

Assalamualaikum, I have been drawing various things (portraits, sceneries etc) for a long time and sometimes I was told by people that it is sinful, though I didn't get any exact ruling on it. I drew portraits as a stress-reliever. Recently I have learned about the ruling on drawing portraits and have stopped drawing them. I have covered the portraits with ink. But I also gave some drawings to other people in both paper and online medium. What can I do for those images? Also I want to know how to repent for it, since I feel very scared after hearing the rulings. Is there any way it can be forgiven if I repent now? I really want to make up for my long-time mistake and want Allah's forgiveness.
