The answer

It is not permissible, according to Islamic law, to describe what is forbidden as beautiful or to praise it, nor is it permissible to recommend disobedience. Whoever describes something as beautiful while believing it to be ugly, and commands disobedience while seeing it as a means to improve a situation and destroy it at the same time, has combined contradictions.
