  • Drawing Images Of Supernatural

    Posted by Mohammad Ali Soomro on January 11, 2023 at 7:43 am

    hello there, my question is that, if someone makes images or drawings of fictional imagery things for example a man like figure made of fire, or a man with wings. or an image depicting a man teleporting from one dimension to another, new worlds or planets made of metal etc.

    and also if something that depicts an act of shirk itself but it does not promote any shirk or anything in real life. for example a man worshipping a sun or moon. or for example if some man is giving life to a dead person but all of it is done or shown in a fictional manner, no one believes it to be true and there’s no fear of some wrong idea to be spread. because sometimes in some games or movies such elements are shown in the movie or game cutscenes, and if a movie is being shown then obviously the images, and frames do form on the screen. for example a scene of a man reviving someone from dead, such scene comes, and the images of frames are formed in the screen but there’s no risk of any shirk idea being promoted and no one worships it reveres such fictional characters that are shown reviving someone. so is it permissible or no, that such images form on screen, or if someone draws it without any intention of believing in it and neither anyone believes it to be true. it’s all fictional

    The principle is very clear that shirk / polytheism is impermissible in any form. Keeping that principle in mind one can decide for their own self depending upon the situation and the need to draw such images.

      @Irfan76 @faisalharoon sir what about the case where some shirk related fictional thing is shown in the movie and the frames of images form in the TV as the scene goes forward.

      Symbols of shirk come around in real life and on screen too. Let them go on.

    Same rule applies as above. Please watch the video below to understand the principle:

      @faisalharoon okay sir i got it that it’s not in and of itself Haram, if something like this pops up on the screen then it’s no problem, but the more the sensitive a person remains the better. for example a person watching a movie and a scene related to shirk pops up and he doesn’t go and turns the TV off, if he just closes his eyes or just merely look at it with a feeling of maintaining a shield of sensitivity, then it’s fine. am i right sir?

      and secondly sir what about drawing something not shirk but supernatural or unnatural like winged man or a man made of fire that for example shoots fire from hands etc or other powers

      As I stated earlier, keeping the principle in mind one can decide for their own self depending upon the situation and the need.
