The answer

The opinion that permits possessing images that do not cast a shadow, such as images on fabric, is a weak one. Those who permit it have used as evidence what is stated in the Prophet's (peace be upon him) hadith: "except an engraving in a garment." However, the Prophet's (peace be upon him) objection to the curtain that contained images without a shadow indicates their absolute prohibition. It also indicates the dislike of covering walls with illustrated fabrics, and that permission is granted only for images that are treated with disrespect and cut up, not those that are set up and hung.
