The Prohibition Of Making Images Of Animate Beings

Allah permitted grape juice and all wholesome drinks, and He forbade intoxicating wine.

He permitted sale and trade, and He forbade usury.

He permitted marriage, and He forbade fornication.

He permitted lawful slaughter, and He forbade carrion, blood, and pork.

He permitted earning through one’s work and effort, and He forbade theft and fraud.

He permitted making images of inanimate things, and He forbade making images of animate beings.

Whoever claims that the prohibition of image-making is too narrow, then the only narrowness is in his own knowledge and faith.
