Q1:
I had a painting of myself done couple of weeks ago by another student. Do you
think that it is against the religion to have something like that done for
oneself?
A:
In general, painting of live
things is prohibited but owning the painting is not prohibited. As for the student who made the
painting, his action is not prohibited since he did not know the verdict.
Q2:
I wish to know the ruling on Tasweer (picture/image making) in two dimensions and three dimensions?
A:
It is prohibited to make images of live creators. Jurists mentioned lots of
narrated texts on this particular issue in their derivation books.
