What is the legal ruling on working in the design of embroidery for women's abayas, and embroidering designs for children's clothes, such as bears and ducks?
Photographing living beings is not permissible, whether for decoration or embroidering clothes, due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "Indeed, the most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection will be the image-makers." As for photographing inanimate objects such as gardens, trees, and natural landscapes, there is no harm in it. Therefore, it is not permissible to continue working in a field that involves photographing living beings.
