Is it permissible for a Muslim plastic artist to create an abstract painting depicting the punishment of one who transgresses against Islamic sanctities, through portraying a dark and illuminated prison symbolizing the repentance of the apostate, red liquid symbolizing the execution of the Hadd punishment on those who do not accept repentance and on the one who insulted the Prophet, and a group of people witnessing the Hadd without distinguishable features?
