Is it permissible for the visual artist and painter to draw people in their paintings that include natural and historical landscapes and alleyways, and what is the explanation of the noble Hadith: "The most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers "?
The ruling on photography and its types has been previously explained. The meaning of the , "The most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection will be the photographers (musawwirūn)," is understood to refer to those who photograph in order to worship the image, such as idol-makers who are disbelievers, or those who intend to imitate God's creation, believing they can do so. As for someone who does not intend that, he is a wicked person who has committed a grave sin but does not disbelieve. Drawing and calligraphy are included in photography, because linguistically, an image is a shape, a line, and a drawing. Therefore, drawing is encompassed by the warning.
