What is the reason for the prohibition of drawing living beings, and does this include nature and photography, and was this ruling specific to the time of Jahiliyyah, and what is the ruling on making purposeful comic books?

The texts indicate the prohibition of drawing animate beings for several reasons, among them: imitating Allah's creation, being a means to polytheism and imitating disbelievers, and preventing angels from entering. Ibn Abbas's hadith pointed to the permissibility of drawing trees and inanimate objects.

The forbidden drawing is that of animate beings. As for digital photography, it is not included in what is forbidden unless it results in something tangible. Children are permitted to make figurines and draw pictures.
