The answer

The majority of scholars are of the opinion that it is permissible to draw and depict inanimate objects such as trees and rivers, based on the of Jibreel which indicated the permissibility of drawing trees, and the of Ibn Abbas prohibiting drawing except for that which has no soul. As for photographic imaging, there is a difference of opinion regarding it, but there is no harm in it when there is a necessity. Therefore, if the subject of the drawing pertains to inanimate objects or to photographic imaging out of necessity, then there is no harm, otherwise, it must be abandoned.
