The question

Will my work be accepted if I draw a society of robots in a form different from humans, and it is a story with a moral taken from an Islamic novel, with the aim of competing with foreign novels that contradict Islamic values? And is there an authority to evaluate such work?

The answer

The basis for prohibiting cartoon images of animate beings, whether human or animal, is established. However, their use is permissible if there is a preponderant benefit, such as in educational films, provided that certain conditions are observed, including:

1. Not portraying prominent figures in a demeaning manner or attributing false statements to them. 2. Avoiding the inclusion of musical segments. 3. Not depicting images of men and women with exposed 'awrah (parts of the body that should be covered), or engaging in forbidden or disbelief-related acts. 4. Ensuring that the films convey noble meanings and virtuous morals. 5. Ensuring that the images do not resemble Allah's creation. 6. Not glorifying innovation (bid'ah) or innovators, or wickedness (fisq) or wicked individuals, and not mentioning innovative occasions.

The producer should strive to convey the message of Islam purely and contribute to the Islamic upbringing of children.
