It is not permissible to portray angels. Their being part of the unseen, about which nothing is known except what has been revealed through divine inspiration, makes their portrayal even more strictly forbidden. What is forbidden to do is also forbidden to watch, even if the viewer knows it is false, because watching it implies approval of it or assistance in sin.
