What is the ruling on a female colleague drawing her female colleagues (with their consent) in indecent and inappropriate poses, and depicting each one with a hypothetical "boyfriend," and is the presence of someone who refuses to be drawn in these pictures considered a suspicion that warrants guidance and advice?
What your colleague is doing—drawing animate beings—is forbidden by Islamic law. Her drawing of girls with what is called a "boyfriend" indicates a lack of modesty. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Modesty is a branch of faith." And he said: "Among the things people have acquired from the words of the first prophethood are: If you have no modesty, then do as you wish."
