Drawing living objects

 

Question: Is drawing (all) that which has a soul (from amongst the humans and animals) permissible if it is done on a bedsheet (cloth) or a carpet or that which is similar to this?

 

Response: The ruling regarding making pictures encompasses (all) that you have mentioned. (So it is haraam to draw or photograph (all) that which has a soul (from amongst the humans and animalsť.

 

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
