The question

Does weaving and selling tapestries of faces only, using a program that converts photographs into tapestry paintings (canvas or Aida cloth), fall under the category of forbidden imagery, or is its ruling similar to that of photography, caricature art, and graphic art for cartoons?

The answer

Weaving fabric that carries photographic or video images is subject to the same ruling as photography and video, which is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The preponderant view is that it is permissible, but it is better to avoid it to steer clear of the disagreement and out of caution for the religion. Earning a living from this type of fabric is permissible if the images do not contain anything forbidden. The safest approach is to weave images of things that do not have a soul.
