Is someone who copies a hand-drawn animated film, which they did not draw themselves, considered a picture-maker (musawwir) and subject to the warning against picture-makers, especially since copying results in the existence of new images?
It is permissible to copy and watch purposeful animated films (cartoons) that are free from Shariah prohibitions. This does not fall under the warning against image-makers; rather, it is even more deserving of permissibility.
