The answer

Drawing with sand is the use of sand in drawing, and its ruling does not differ from the general ruling on drawing. So, drawing inanimate objects like trees is permissible. However, drawing animate beings, such as animals and birds, is forbidden. Severe texts have been narrated prohibiting it, among them the hadith: "Every painter will be in the Hellfire," and the hadith: "Indeed, among the people who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection are those who make these images." Therefore, it is not permissible to draw pictures of birds and animals with sand or anything else, but it is permissible to draw inanimate objects.
