Salam, thank you for your kind words. According to our madhab (school of imam jafar al sadiq) drawing or painting images of humans and animals is not haram as long as it does not encourage immoral behavior, nor is it intended for purposes of idol worship. This means that art, photography, and illustrations for non-worship purposes are generally acceptable. Among other madhabs they prohibit drawing faces and detailed images of animate beings, but there are exceptions for necessity and some flexibility when it comes to incomplete or abstract figures.

@IslamicLessonsMadeEasy It was narrated from `Abdullah ibn `Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Those who make images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them: `Bring to life that which you have created.’” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari, 5607 and Muslim, 2108)

@@Jeg-o4x In our madhhab (Shia), scholars have interpreted this hadith differently. The prohibition is generally understood to apply to images created for idol worship or promoting immoral behavior. Prominent Shia jurists state that drawing or painting images of living beings is permissible as long as it doesn’t lead to such actions. Therefore, art, photography, and educational illustrations, especially when used for beneficial purposes, are not considered harām under these conditions. Even if we accept this hadith as sahih, it’s crucial to examine the Arabic text and context. The phrase ‘those who make images’ may refer to creating sculptures or three-dimensional representations rather than simple drawings or paintings. Additionally, the statement ‘bring to life that which you have created’ suggests something more substantial, like a sculpture attempting to imitate life. Different scholars interpret this hadith in various ways, and in Shia jurisprudence, drawing images is generally permissible as long as it avoids idolatry or promoting immorality.
