Is it permissible to draw images of animate beings in important drawing examinations?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to draw complete images of animate beings unless there is a necessity or an urgent need. In tests, it suffices to draw them without features or to draw parts that do not allow for the continuation of life. If the choice is between drawing complete animate beings and failing the test, then there is no sin upon the student in that instance, and the sin falls upon the one who commanded him to do so.
