What is meant by photographing animate beings, whether three-dimensional or not, and does hand-drawing fall under non-three-dimensional imaging? What is the ruling on sending personal photos with the recommendation that men not view them? What is the ruling on photographing buildings, gardens, and animals? And what is the ruling on hanging pictures of birds and animals in the home?

The meaning of three-dimensional images is that they have volume and their limbs are立体, whereas non-three-dimensional (flat) images are those whose limbs are distinguished by sight only. Drawing living beings by hand, if the image is complete in its creation, is forbidden according to the majority of scholars. If what you did previously was out of ignorance, then there is no sin upon you. A woman sending her picture to other women is not inherently forbidden, but it is better to avoid it. Photographic imaging is not forbidden at all. As for drawing by hand, there is no harm in drawing buildings, gardens, and streets, but it is not permissible to draw animals complete in their creation. Hanging pictures of living beings is absolutely forbidden, whether they are hand-drawn or photographic.
