Why are there paintings or drawings of some Muslim scholars despite their prohibition?

Islamic civilization is a civilization of words more than it is a civilization of images. Therefore, its arts were concerned with calligraphy, architecture, and ornamentation. Images and statues were few, and they were associated with the environment of rulers and palaces. They increased during the Fatimid era, who deviated from the Sharia (definition). The aversion to depicting living beings in Islamic art stems from the desire to distance oneself from idolatrous manifestations. The legal reality of Islam prohibited statues and images, and any deviation from this occurred in the environment of rulers who deviated from the laws of Islam. None of the Sharia scholars worked in the making of images and statues.
