please refrain from using the Quran as a means of background sound. use a Nasheed or don't play anything at all in the background. وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ "And when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy."
I agree. Not just it's rude to talk over the quran verses, it's also distracting for viewers to hear properly about his explanation over quran recitation. He could use hummings, permissible musical instruments, or nature noises as substitute for background music
I was very into drawing, I wanted to be a manga artist and create my own webtoon one day but as I got more religious and this dream is still buried somewhere deep inside of me, whenever I think about drawing faces I’d somehow delay it by saying “I have to do this first” or “i need to pray” and now you’ve made this video, which from the bottom of my heart JazakAllah for the clarification, i did have a drawing tablet and I kinda wanted to draw on it but for the sake of doubt I will not draw that. But luckily I’m currently doing a diploma on interior design and I mostly have to make non living things so InshaAllah if I pursue it as a career then it won’t be haram.
@@AzmeenKhan-ql8kv There should be a Muslim version of everything, to prevent the ummah from becoming dependent on external resources, so you should definitely do that!
As someone who’s been drawing for a long time and mainly draws portraits and characters, this is quite the upsetting news. But Allah is our creator and I will try to find alternatives to drawing. Inshallah I will find something suitable for me in time! Edit: I just wanted to clarify some things (after reading the replies(and thank you all for your advices and thoughts)), I find most of my pleasure in drawing the face and making the things I draw look and feel like they’d actually be real people with lives. I was actually aiming to be a concept artist and character designer (the names are self-explanatory), but I now, obviously, cannot do that. I even wanted to become an animator at some point. All of the things I’ve talked about and like up until this point are haram. Just pointing this out because I do not find pleasure in drawing inanimate objects or landscapes. But with Allahs help and my own effort, I will inshallah overcome this.
The Prohition of Drawing and Sculptures Mostly Because people of Pagan Arab Worship Both Pictures and Sculptures that's "Context" and people still do that Nowadays, that A Reason Prophet Muhammad dont want wana be Drawn Tbh i enjoy Drawing and Music but Never forget to pray and Read and Understand Qur an and Hadist Yeah You are doing Sin but you are not out of Fold From islam, try to do other Good deed Drawing and Music Its Not Bad it Has Positive impact and Negative impact that why the Law not Outright Ban it from the hadits and there is No law that outright Ban it at Qur an either
@@irpanfauzi1160 ye fair but try not diong anithing like nsfw with ur art AND try to listen to non satanic or potty mouthed music because those are just STRIGHT UP haram
unless you are not drawing something haram or drawing people of the opposite gender or nudity , you can draw portraits and stuff , it depends on which scolar you listen to , so you need to trust your sources
You can draw u just can't draw living things with the body parts that make animals live. So u can just draw a body with no eyes or just draw objects or mountains.
some tips for my artist brothers and sisters to make your halal drawing of people/ characters less boring and more pleasing to look at : - learn perspective and use angles that would make the scene dynamic and more importantly make the unclear facial features more natural - make use of light and dramatic shadows to hide your character's face ( fore example the character is standing in front of the sun and his face is covered in shadow) - when drawing a big scene or environment focused pieces ( you should focus make more of these ) place your living objects fairly distant from the foreground so you'll add less detail and thus having a blank face will come natural - try adding creative gadgets , accessories , clothing and other stuff to your character design, be more creative and make use of stuff like sunglasses, masks , hijab , niqab, scarf, headsets , helmets, caps , hats , hoodies and so on - try learn to draw environments qnd it doesn't have to be boring you can draw like a fantasy landscape creating your own kinds if flowers and trees , trying different colours and generally pushing your creativity i hope this helped and remember to always keep it halal and ask allah to help you stay on the straight way ❤
@@SaadtheMuzlim always happy to help people see that you can enjoy stuff in life without tapping into Haram , even though sometimes you gotta accept that it's not all about entertainment and you'll have to let down things like anime , music, drawing faces ,etc
Since i do mostly military drawings, its just easy covering face though the bare minimum of face i would have wanted to do is either the eyes or mouth.
Jazakallahu khairan, I am a young artist and I've had so many people come upto me with claims that "drawing is haram", I'm glad I finally found an actual answer to this question! This really helps me, may Allah grant you Jannah, Ameen.
@@AzmeenKhan-ql8kv in the video he said that the scolars are devided and some say its bad some say its mid some say its ok to draw not that its bad right?
How can someone believe photography is haram but videography is allowed when videos are just a series of photographs that have been shot quickly in sequence? This is, unfortunately, an issue with the ummah today where some Islamic scholars do not study science and technology, or other fields, and issue fatwas.
@@thesalafislav Please let me know when you have a valid refutation of what I said instead of ad hominem attacks. "... whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak what is good or keep silent." (al-Bukhari 6136)
I think u also know that talking about mufti and scholars like that is great sin , assuming they are people with no knowledge , this situation is more like shubuhat , so ithere nothing comes to make it haram ,and theres nothing says its not halal , its the right thing to avoid shubuhat , . But if u mean every single drawing every thing literally ,ur so wrong. . Because the issue is only about drawing smtn with a soul , such as human and animals and the rest , but anything else is fine , but also if drawing makes u waste time and not focus on prayers which is called lahu thats also haram . So man since u seem a real believer , u should know how great sin it is to talk about someone stuff u dont even know , adding that this someone is even a scholar or mufti person who spreads islam , and helps muslims . @@MixtureGuy
@@qusiee1441 Please re-read the comment. I neither mentioned drawing nor criticized scholars as a whole. I stated that some scholars (not all) issue fatwas without throughly studying other fields. This can lead to contradictory rulings, like claiming photography is haram while videography (which includes photography) is halal. This would be like issuing a fatwa saying a sip of wine is haram, but a bottle of vodka is halal.
finally, a very detailed video about this doubt many people have. im going to share this with people i know with people who love photography (like me) and people who loves drawing. thanks for clearing such a doubt. you deserve more subscribers and views.
Drawing being haram has such a weak argument. In the time of Prophet (pbuh) people used to worship pictures they made, thats why it was made haram however as a muslim you know you are not worshipping them nor competing with Allah so I dont see a problem in Drawing
In the hadith of the man who asked him about drawing paintings, Muslim was rather asking about drawing for the sake of pleasure. Your argument has no evidence, my brother.
This video was actually so helpful, I was looking for a clear answer to this question for a long time and this really helped! Jazakallah Khair and may Allah bless you.
Ya allah, jazak allah 5hayr ya akhy!! Ive been working on my artstyle for years to be always cartoonish and very simple, this video is very informative, thank you and may allah grant us jannah ✌️
IMPORTANT NOTICE: just cause there is a difference of opinions DOESNT mean you can do whatever you want. If somethinf is vague try to AVOID it just for your own sake.If you avoid something Just IN CASE it was haram then surely you will be rewarded for trust in allah. imagine on the day of judgement it counts as a bad deed and what will you say to allah? i didnt know? there was a difference of opinions?i dont want to be in that position
@@princess_zulica You would follow the opinion that is strongest and closest. How you do that you look at the actions of the Salaf (Righteous Predecessors) aka The Sahabas the generation after that and the generation after that as we understand the religion how they understood it from The Prophet ﷺ.
@@JustALaymanNH Wait, one small question. Would that mean that those who are following the Maliki madhab are taking a huge risk? I personally don't draw because of this issue and i prefer to be safe. But I know people who follow the opinion of it's permissibility (maliki school).
Assalamualaykum brother, thank you so much for clearing this up. I have been pondering over this subject alot as I did drawing as a hobby and you finally cleared it, I cannot explain how happy I feel. May Allah bless you
that's actually confusing, how reducing human feature in a drawing make it permissable while we still clearly understand that the drawing is still a human drawing, what about drawing something not real like monsters, dragons, etc
@@jiburpak539plants count as a part of non-living beings even though it's a living being since it does not move from place to place every second so it's allowed
3.46 Hey, Salam Aleykum ,It's good to see that you put an effort in regards of the issue but one thing is Asim Al hakeem, Zakir Naik and others of their likes are not muslim scholars they are students of knowledge. Ibn Uthaymeen {raheemullah} i much higher in knowledge than Zakir Naik and Asim Al Hakeem.
Walaikum us salam! That's really important to note so thank you. And I'm pretty sure (certain as he said it himself) that Assim al Hakeem only relates to us of whatever either Ibn Uthaymeen, Sheikh Nasir Albani, or Shaykh bin Baz have said (and I'm pretty sure that those three are all real 'scholars') Jazakallah
AHH TYSM!! some people would tell me that "oh drawing faces is haram" or "drawing eyes is hara" and i was super confused, but now whenever i draw on paper I'll make sure to make one feature missing!
I used to draw figures, but now because of this video I am trying to draw figures without facial features or no eyes, I Loved drawing for most of my life, I find it hard and fun to draw moving objects, as Human body is a very beautiful and complex thing , Indeed Allah's creation is perfect.
Oh Allah thank you so much I’ve been searching for this answer for so long, I’m so happy because I don’t include noses in my digital drawings, but I am still a bit worried/ confused, because I also animate, so I was wondering if animating digitally is permissible, as long as I acknowledge Allah as the creator and don’t show any haram things?
Assalamualikum! Animating is just drawing multiple individual drawings, so the same rulings as that of drawing applies to animations. Hope this helps, Allah Hafidh!
I remember looking up about this with a Sheikh back in 2016. Such a complex thing to look at since there are four schools with differing opinions. I agree that sculpting is understandably haram but I am not certain with 2D drawings when that never implied any form of _worship_ (shirk)
Assalamualaikum! Yes, ur right about this topic being complex. Infact, the maliki school of thought doesn't even cosider drawing FULL faces to be haram. But the information I presented in this video is what I got from the Majority of scholars. Hope this video helped you, Jazakallah!
Such a helpful video, when I was younger this would’ve helped so much 😭 I was under the impression I could only draw faceless humans forever but Alhumdillah, the ruling is acc not as difficult as people make it seem Our religion is an easy one after all
I still didnt get the answer to three things. 1: does fictional and non-existent character count as living beings? 2: If yes, why is it haram? 3: non-living things are also ALLAH creation such as air mountains water etc. So why is it not haram to draw them?
Tho for non-living things, I think that's just how it was said in the Hadith. Though I mean, if you're getting super theoretical, humans *could* make artificial lakes and stuff, whereas for animals and humans there is a soul in them which is given only by Allah. This is just my theory though, and I don't know if it's true or not
Brother and sister if you are struggling with this here's my story i wanted to be a musician and a cinematography, i even almost bought a violin for myself to learn, later on i found out that music is haram through a random Instagram comment,I was heartbroken bcz i thought that was the only thing I wanted to do and I can pursue i went on every place on internet to find out if there's any way or if there was anyone who would justify of music halal but i couldn't i gave up and left that dream behind ,i accepted if this not what Allah wants surely there would be something better and it's prohibited then it's for a reason, few months after I saw some oil painting portraits on UA-cam i immediately fell in love with and wanted to learn it as I was going through the tutorial I found out though a another comment from a video that it is also not permissible 😂 I was bit sad this time but saw this a trial from Allah and instead of learning potrait I got into architecture arts and Bob Ross style arts ,as i mentioned I also wanted to be a cinematographer in the beginning and I had to give it up bcz cinematography also heavily relies on music in the background otherwise it would be just silent video , i saw brothers doing voice over on some beautiful videos and those didn't require any music I got inspired by that so I'm probably gonna pursue my dream of recording things but this time instead of working with a haram. Film company I'll make videos about islam and Muslim around the world, the reason I shared my story is not to flex on you guys to show if my iman is bigger but to prove that when in beginning i believed that I wouldn't be able to do anything in my life my talents Allah showed me way to use them in better ways. And i know PPL are struggling with the same thoughts so believe me and trust Allah it's not the end there are 100s of things in which you can get better and you might even enjoy it more it's Just you haven't given it a try , so trust Allah
Jazakallah Khairan! Really Informative nd thank you for sharing it with us! Awesome editing by the way! Hope your channel reaches out to as many Muslims as possible and make it of benefit to the ummah! Inshallah!
AWESOME EDITING? No way😂 On a serious note though, Inshallah it reaches out to as many people, and Inshallah I'll never present false information, or push any agenda. Jazakallah!
depending on which scolar you listen to some say haram some say halal . but after i asked trusted sources , drawing in itself is not haram, even portraits , niether is any form of art if it is not promoting evil acts or have a side haram to it like drawing nudity or looking at the opposite gender body and face for too long to draw and all things like that
Assalamualaikum! That is definitely an opinion, and it may even be valid, but that isn't the majority opinion (and bringing forth the unbiased majority opinion was my goal and responsibility). Jazakallah for the comment!
I started to know that drawing is haram in 2018. It was a really tough time to for me to stop it. I slowly try to pry the habit of drawing living things away. I also took lots of research and some scholars said to make the drawings look impaired such as no nose, ears and etc. I'm still trying to move on now so please pray for me 😅 a
2:30 so does this mean that if i have an anime style and no realism in any form , am i allowed to draw humans :0? also from one of the comments below regarding making ur art more halal with use of dramatic lighting and perspective and detailed backgrounds , if i have that with that anime-ish style is it okay to draw humans ? i have a relatively childish anime style , is it okay? Jazakallah for making this video ^-^
well, technically you’re still depicting a human even in anime art. I think the safest option as from this video would be to leave all or some of the facial features blank.
Jazakallāhu Khayran!!! I love you brother!!!!!! Though, i have a few questions, 1. If i don't draw the facial feature/s by covering it with their hand or an object, is that still permissible? 2. And what is the ruling on drawing fanart? Barakallāhu fīk
I absolutely love nature (leaves, trees, greenery, blue cloudy sky, dark starry sky, the moon, the sun etc) so acc to your research ALL of what I mentioned above is not sinful for me to draw? It's such a relief if its true. JazakAllah brother
Assalamualikum! YES, according to literally every madhab, everything you mentioned is acceptable as they all fall under the category of 'non-animate' beings!
Youre a very small channel. may Allah bless you, you gave sources and so much more! This was a very great video brother keep this up, this is what I call quality content. اللهم بارك عليك اجي
Assalamu'alaikum brother. Ya Allah, yesterday I sat and looked for the answer to this question and grieved. Thank God I came across this video. In fact, I really like drawing, but these doubts constantly ate at me and pushed me away from the pencil. Thank you very much and may Allah reward you with the highest degree of Jannah, InshaAllah!!!
As an artist and a Muslim, i appreciate this video for being to the point, and of good quality. Thank you for researching deeply on this topic from Islamic aspect, it really helped out.
Assalamualaikum brother, I have a suggestion but not because I hate your videos but simply a reminder to do the right thing and that is: can you not put the Quran as background sound? I find it a bit disgraceful to put the Quran and talk over it as the Quran is meant to be listened to
I will still draw images of (perceived) living creatures. My niat is not to compete with god almighty. Because i knew, deep down, that i will never EVER make something perfect nor alive (don't get me started on children, their souls are not yours to breathe; never was & never will). To simply imagine you could is blasphemy. To jot down the speech of a person does not mean you stole his voice; what matters is what you do with it.
Alhamdulillah brother you are the only person i have come through my entire life who had enough courage to gather enough resources and place them with comparisons. Most Mufti has different opinion yet they can't really give a proper briefing regarding this topic as it is a vast one. Architectural drawing and uses of geometry has been there since the beginning of Islam and also in our life, for various study purposes in medicals, criminal finding, children education...drawing plays a crucial part to give us a clue to find valuable information of what we are looking for. Most Muslims avoids this topic either out of fear of shirk or ignorance. But this is indeed an important matter which has more use other than entertainment purpose. In'sha'Allah looking for more contents from you in future.
can you elaborate why you believe that a guy that looted and killed meccan traders and killed innocent jew in medina just cause he wrote poems against the killing of those meccan traders who never meant harm was he a prophet? why didnt he perform miracles , why did he kill so many people , a person who has blood and money on his hands can be a prophet? please tell why you think hes a prophet and he didnt just make up his claim theres so many reasons he could have made that up
@@Comment27560 I'm guessing you are talking about prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Can you provide any sources/evidences for these claims you made? If you don't even know the miracles that he performed by the will of Allah then you have alot to research Why the prophet and his companions have killed people is simply because of something called self defense. When an army attacks you you are obviously going to defend yourself, or would you just sit there and let them end you? The prophet ﷺ also chose to live poor and donated everything he had to the poor. So he obviously didn't do it for money There is a youtube channel you can check out if you are sincere it's called Muslim Lantern. He has already answered these questions in past videos
is an anime face technically something without real facial features or is it also haram? also thank you so much for this video. I really love drawing and even i did a lot of research on this but i didnt find a satisfying answer. i saw your channel make a video on music being haram and i commented asking for a video on drawing and masha'allah it's here. jazak'allahkhayr
After reading your comment, I also began searching for a satisfying answer but there's not a single good video on the topic. Hopefully, this video fills that gap, and Jazakallah for the idea. To answer your question, full anime faces are also prohibited as: A) You're still drawing a human, no matter how cartoonish. And B) Assim al hakeem made a video saying that putting facial features on non-living things is also haram (which I agree with) so anime faces would be prohibted, if you look at it from that angle (I've discussed this in in the description) Hope this helps!
@@SaadtheMuzlimyep, If I know that what I'm trying to draw is human no matter if it's anime, cartoonish, or I'm covering the face with all hairs to hide facial features, it's Haram.
Assalamwaalaikum Thank you so much for this!! My family has been telling me that drawing is prohibited ppl and all full stop and that made me burn out and stop enjoying drawing all together but now that i know this i might get back into drawing!!
Assalamwalaikum brother, amazing video but i wanted to ask you to look into playing quran in background as you are using in the video, thank you again for such an easy explaination.
Well from my past knowledge I just knew wearing animated things or hanging animated stuff on your walls or making drawings of it or making a sculpture or statue of living stuff is completely haram. And the main thing that makes it animated or alive is the eyes. So when I wear a t-shirt that has a fish with no eyes in prayer then that's permissible.
hi bro i wanted to tall u pls dont put quran when u speak in the vidoe try to put a nashid insted of it because when quran is on we should be silent and listen to it
Jazak-Allahu Khayra for doing this work for us and helping us! May Allah reward you with whats best for you! Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.
@@SaadtheMuzlim oh i just realised (since it used to be my mistake as well) but i think writing/typing Insha Allah as "inshallah" means to create Allah, which is impossible. i encourage you to do your own research, but this is just what i found.
I found that art helped me improve my concentration and keep me calm, and I get bored of inanimate things very quickly. The Quran definitely helps with the same aspects, but I've been drawing since I was 4 years old. I decided to stick to the opinion of removing a part of the face. (nostrils to "prevent the character from breathing" lol)
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been looking for this kind of information forever and you just saved me for having to break my back searching for a simple answer! New sub!
JazakAllahu khairan for the explanation! But, I once asked my Qur'an teacher about drawing characters, BUT with a simple intention and not to commit to shirk or "give life", just to have fun. She said that it is okay, but you shouldn't hang it on the wall and admire it all the time and obsess over it. I like to draw characters, and I kinda feel a bit sad about this, but I just want a further explanation. Look, I only sketch now, I don't draw complete drawings, but I draw with faces. I can't help but enjoy drawing them!*. I feel conflicted, and I am scared that I am committing a major and horrible sin, I need help, please. I also draw in digital, too! Oh, and to further explain, my Qur'an teacher mentioned, since I am doing it as a hobby and that I am not hanging it on the wall and really admire it or sanctifying it, then it is okay.. I am scared that I am doing something wrong. I have been drawing my whole life and my family never thought that it was haram for drawing characters or whatsoever. I only draw cartoon characters with no realism, it's sonething simple and not with too maby details, and I mostly draw sketches either way.
Assalamualaikum! Yes, what you're saying is definitely right (especially sticking to one madhab) but for some reason, I just can't satisfy my urge for knowledge until I've went over the opinion of every single scholar and then arrived at the conclusion (and then made a video). I know I'm probably in the wrong, but just wanted to get that out there. It's also important to never let your desires choose which scholar to follow (because that leads to people just following 'liberal scholars' and making everything halal) Jazakallah :)
@@SaadtheMuzlim Walaikum Salam(sorry I should've started with that). There's nothing wrong with gaining knowledge! In fact if you think a certain madhab or scholar makes more sense than the one you're currently following, it may be a good thing to switch
Knew this a long time ago, but sometime after I've quit working as a 2D animator. Grew up doodling and sketching instinctively although up till today I'm not at the point of being able to paint people's portraits realistically. Knowing this is part of the reason I give up, aside from being burnt out animating and depressed back then. 10 years now unable to be inspired enough to draw/sketch anything, not even just drawing plants or geometric arts/motifs like for buildings. Just sharing my experience, thanks for reading my comment.
I have a question, there's these robot toy status that you build called Gunpla, are these permissible to build and play with? And are they permissible to display?? I feel like they remind me of statues that are worshipped if i display them, because some worshipped statues didn't have detailed faces. And lastly, if they are haram that means that i can't sell the ones i own to reclaim some of my money back, correct?
i have a question: does this apply only to styles of realism, since that's what mimics real life? so is drawing in a more cartoony style or anime like style haram?
Assalamualaikum! You shouldn't draw full faces, no matter how cartoonish because: A) You're still drawing a human face and B) Assim al Hakeem made a video saying that putting facial features on non-living things is also prohibited, so anime faces would also be unacceptable if you look at it from that angle (ua-cam.com/video/TOQ56qll1Bo/v-deo.html) Hope this helped, Jazakallah!
this is not a sin ! and never was or will be! you are not creating a human , youre not giving it life. You are simply observing allah's creation and drawing it . And look at the channel making this video . his profile picture is a drawing of a detailed portrait LOL and talks on top of Quran playing. what a funny youtuber. Ask yourself , are you impersonating God when you draw humans ? do you have the intention to create a human and give it a spirit ? No matter how much you draw , it will be soulless and you and i and everyone knows that . It is KNOWN that Allah is the creator and no one else is and you are just observing . Drawing was useful ever since day one . This is how we were able to learn and study history by looking at what people draw. Countless number of murder cases have been solved because people drew portraits of the criminals and victims This is not a sin. The ayah in the quran simply meant that you do not create statues . as statues r known for being worshipped.
Brothers and sisters not all drawing is Haram the Islam said that drawing soul owners or human being but nature , river, houses, flowers , cities are allowed to draw but humans, animals , anime all of those kind are Haram.
Barikallahu Fik, very nice video, I'm surprised you have less than 750 Subscribers, with the quality of these informative videos you deserve at least 100k Subs
Thank you for this amazing explanation brother, it’s lifted a lot of doubts for me as an artist, and I’ve been refraining from drawing the eyes and even better making pictures where the face itself is absent I’m interested to see what the opinion is for photography to be haram as the subject of the photo is an actual creation of Allah, and therefore cannot be said to be “replicating” Allah’s creation as the object of the photo is a real creature that Allah himself made
I can draw things almost exactly if I just look at the subject I wanna draw, I draw on my iPad. But later I found that animate beings are haram, so *I deleted all my animate drawings and now I draw inanimate things using my same skill. It’s awesome. I’m glad. I approve this video since I’m knowledgeable about the topic, though digital art is better to be avoided since even technology will serve as a witness for or against you on the day of resurrection. We can turn our phones and tablets etc into anything nowadays, from an alarm clock to a calendar to pen and paper to draw with. A fun thing to do is to draw your real life surroundings! (Of inanimate objects of course)
I thought eyes wasn't allowed and only the other till i saw your video,then i finally knew you just has to make em imperfect to not be that animate,ty Saad.
Reply to 0:49 I heard from a scholar that there were 2 types of sujood in the distant past. One was and is for Allah, another was reserved for respecting of some sorts. The 2nd type is in the present also reserved for only Allah, so we cannot bow to anyone anymore.
The first time i heard that music is haram, i disliked it at first But after a but of research i actually realized that music is harmful, and now i agree with it being haram But on the painting part…. Ok i would understand why statues might be haram, because they might lead to shrik But painting? Tbh i need to reflect more about it, i might find a reason why its wrong just like music But tbh i don’t care about my own opinion Because i have seen people that say “why is worshipping statues and doing shirk wrong in islam?” And i find their question clearly stupid, but when i think about it, what if i had their same doubts? Would i follow my emotions and desires or Allah? I would follow allah any day of the week Alhamdullah
Thank you so much for this, ive been quite confused with all the different opinions and ive finally found a fixed answer. I just have one question, does the same ruling apply when making dolls or such? I loved making crochet animals, and now im not sure if i could make them excluding the mouth or eyes Jazaka Allahu Khairan
Assalamualaikum! Glad I could help. As for your question, the ruling for 2D and 3D 'drawings' is completely different. Inshallah, this video will answer all your questions: ua-cam.com/video/pI3vUq2LmJo/v-deo.html Jazakallah!
Does this logic also apply to creating avatars in video games such as Roblox? Can I have headless, faceless or one feature missing such as only mouth, or only eyes
So i can draw very well and im recently learning how to draw digitaly. Well this video will help me very much. My Imam told me that i could draw anyithing exept it can live, like drawing a headles man wouldn't be problematic or only the upper part of the body, cause you can't live without the rest of your body and he also told me that drawing cartoon figures aren't haram, and that realistic art was problematic. Well since i draw cartoon (more like "i can only draw") figures he said it is not haram, but by realistic art, i have to draw it so it won't be able to live, like i said: without head,faceless,without eyes or the half of the body doesn't exsist/ isn't drawed. Btw, for the eyes, i could just use Sunglasses, thank you for making this video my brother :)
question: The Older Godzilla Films use situation for the Kaiju, So I draw them will it be haram since it's an Inanimate suit? Question 2: Does the same Apply for CGI
Thank you for this detailed video brother, I appreciate it so much. But I do have a question, can we draw humans but unnatural features? Like, wings, horns, animal ears etc. My friends wanted to draw them like mythical creatures but I am not too sure if it’s okay to do so.
Assalamuallaikum! I have been drawing faces for many years,watching this video has been truly educational for me. I feel horrible that I’ve been committing this sin nearly all my life. My question is that what do I do with the drawings that I have previously made? Nearly ALL of my sketchbooks have drawings of faces and animals in them.
Walaikumusalam! I'm really happy that you found this video helpful :) If you made those previous drawings in ignorance, then inshallah there will be no sin on you. I would advise you to just tuck those drawings away in a random corner of your house, and not place them in a place in which they're easily visible, in a place of veneration (this is the least you have to do). Some people also burn their drawings, but this isn't necessary (although it might be encouraged, you should search it up :') Hope this helped, Jazakallah!
This comment makes me VERY sad , do not feel horrible at all. , this is not a sin ! and never was or will be! you are not creating a human , youre not giving it life.

The ayah in the quran simply meant that you do not create statues . as statues r known for being worshipped.
@@Rayaschool-dp3cg Are you sure? I still love drawing and making cartoons but drawing things living things for fun is haram? This video is informative (I literally find answers to drawing) but I still have my doubts if Allah forbids me from doing what I like
@@V_Blocky Its literally not a sin . I will go to hell if i sit here in the comment section misguiding people. But im not. Im trying to save you from making your life hard from unnecessary misunderstood rules.
also some things i am wondering: -do these rulings apply to making animation? -are there things haram to draw? (NSFW is obviously haram) -can you do something like a full face on a dead thing?
Drawing only one feature like eyes' i have always wondered if it is permissible because when i get bored in school i always draw something like that and so thank u so much for clearing my doubt thank u sm!!😊
I see a lot of people say things like “oh, can I draw cartoons and Anime?” And i have an opinion on that from my sheikhs and scholars that my family and I follow- the things that fall under tasweer are hyper-realistic sculptures and portraits, so drawing anime as long as it’s not meant to make the artist look like they have a similar ability in creating humans to Allah (swt) is completely fine, but that’s only one opinion. You should follow whatever you feel is best for you.

I was very into drawing, I wanted to be a manga artist and create my own webtoon one day but as I got more religious and this dream is still buried somewhere deep inside of me, whenever I think about drawing faces I’d somehow delay it by saying “I have to do this first” or “i need to pray” and now you’ve made this video, which from the bottom of my heart JazakAllah for the clarification, i did have a drawing tablet and I kinda wanted to draw on it but for the sake of doubt I will not draw that. But luckily I’m currently doing a diploma on interior design and I mostly have to make non living things so InshaAllah if I pursue it as a career then it won’t be haram.
That's amazing to hear! I also wanted to draw webtoons at one point in my life, but that dreams long gone...
Jazakallah
i still like pursuing my dream of becoming a manga artist even if I cant draw facial features tho it'll only spread in the muslim ummah 😂

@@SaadtheMuzlim thanks
@@SaadtheMuzlimDrawing is not haram even with facial features, because we're not intending to bring anything to life 😂
As someone who’s been drawing for a long time and mainly draws portraits and characters, this is quite the upsetting news. But Allah is our creator and I will try to find alternatives to drawing. Inshallah I will find something suitable for me in time!
Edit: I just wanted to clarify some things (after reading the replies(and thank you all for your advices and thoughts)), I find most of my pleasure in drawing the face and making the things I draw look and feel like they’d actually be real people with lives. I was actually aiming to be a concept artist and character designer (the names are self-explanatory), but I now, obviously, cannot do that. I even wanted to become an animator at some point. All of the things I’ve talked about and like up until this point are haram. Just pointing this out because I do not find pleasure in drawing inanimate objects or landscapes. But with Allahs help and my own effort, I will inshallah overcome this.
The Prohition of Drawing and Sculptures Mostly Because people of Pagan Arab Worship Both Pictures and Sculptures that's "Context" and people still do that Nowadays, that A Reason Prophet Muhammad dont want wana be Drawn

unless you are not drawing something haram or drawing people of the opposite gender or nudity , you can draw portraits and stuff , it depends on which scolar you listen to , so you need to trust your sources
You can draw u just can't draw living things with the body parts that make animals live. So u can just draw a body with no eyes or just draw objects or mountains.
As an artist, the Islamic perspective for drawing was always in my mind,
May Allah bless your work,
some tips for my artist brothers and sisters to make your halal drawing of people/ characters less boring and more pleasing to look at :
- learn perspective and use angles that would make the scene dynamic and more importantly make the unclear facial features more natural
- make use of light and dramatic shadows to hide your character's face ( fore example the character is standing in front of the sun and his face is covered in shadow)
- when drawing a big scene or environment focused pieces ( you should focus make more of these ) place your living objects fairly distant from the foreground so you'll add less detail and thus having a blank face will come natural
- try adding creative gadgets , accessories , clothing and other stuff to your character design, be more creative and make use of stuff like sunglasses, masks , hijab , niqab, scarf, headsets , helmets, caps , hats , hoodies and so on
- try learn to draw environments qnd it doesn't have to be boring you can draw like a fantasy landscape creating your own kinds if flowers and trees , trying different colours and generally pushing your creativity
i hope this helped and remember to always keep it halal and ask allah to help you stay on the straight way ❤

Drawing being haram has such a weak argument. In the time of Prophet (pbuh) people used to worship pictures they made, thats why it was made haram however as a muslim you know you are not worshipping them nor competing with Allah so I dont see a problem in Drawing
@thebattery143Put the context. Pictures used to be worshiped so it's haram. But if not it's okey.

Oh Allah thank you so much I’ve been searching for this answer for so long, I’m so happy because I don’t include noses in my digital drawings, but I am still a bit worried/ confused, because I also animate, so I was wondering if animating digitally is permissible, as long as I acknowledge Allah as the creator and don’t show any haram things?
Assalamualikum! Animating is just drawing multiple individual drawings, so the same rulings as that of drawing applies to animations.
Hope this helps,
Allah Hafidh!
I remember looking up about this with a Sheikh back in 2016. Such a complex thing to look at since there are four schools with differing opinions. I agree that sculpting is understandably haram but I am not certain with 2D drawings when that never implied any form of _worship_ (shirk)
Assalamualaikum!
Yes, ur right about this topic being complex. Infact, the maliki school of thought doesn't even cosider drawing FULL faces to be haram. But the information I presented in this video is what I got from the Majority of scholars.

Our religion is an easy one after all
I still didnt get the answer to three things.
1: does fictional and non-existent character count as living beings?
2: If yes, why is it haram?
3: non-living things are also ALLAH creation such as air mountains water etc. So why is it not haram to draw them?
I hope the creator of this video can reply to this soon, because Im curious too about this
Tho for non-living things, I think that's just how it was said in the Hadith. Though I mean, if you're getting super theoretical, humans *could* make artificial lakes and stuff, whereas for animals and humans there is a soul in them which is given only by Allah. This is just my theory though, and I don't know if it's true or not

Brother and sister if you are struggling with this here's my story i wanted to be a musician and a cinematography, i even almost bought a violin for myself to learn, later on i found out that music is haram through a random Instagram comment,I was heartbroken bcz i thought that was the only thing I wanted to do and I can pursue i went on every place on internet to find out if there's any way or if there was anyone who would justify of music halal but i couldn't i gave up and left that dream behind ,i accepted if this not what Allah wants surely there would be something better and it's prohibited then it's for a reason, few months after I saw some oil painting portraits on UA-cam i immediately fell in love with and wanted to learn it as I was going through the tutorial I found out though a another comment from a video that it is also not permissible 😂 I was bit sad this time but saw this a trial from Allah and instead of learning potrait I got into architecture arts and Bob Ross style arts ,as i mentioned I also wanted to be a cinematographer in the beginning and I had to give it up bcz cinematography also heavily relies on music in the background otherwise it would be just silent video , i saw brothers doing voice over on some beautiful videos and those didn't require any music I got inspired by that so I'm probably gonna pursue my dream of recording things but this time instead of working with a haram. Film company I'll make videos about islam and Muslim around the world, the reason I shared my story is not to flex on you guys to show if my iman is bigger but to prove that when in beginning i believed that I wouldn't be able to do anything in my life my talents Allah showed me way to use them in better ways. And i know PPL are struggling with the same thoughts so believe me and trust Allah it's not the end there are 100s of things in which you can get better and you might even enjoy it more it's Just you haven't given it a try , so trust Allah

Assalamualaikum brother, I have a suggestion but not because I hate your videos but simply a reminder to do the right thing and that is: can you not put the Quran as background sound? I find it a bit disgraceful to put the Quran and talk over it as the Quran is meant to be listened to
Won't do so in the future!
may allah bless you my friend, high level content there
I will still draw images of (perceived) living creatures. My niat is not to compete with god almighty. Because i knew, deep down, that i will never EVER make something perfect nor alive (don't get me started on children, their souls are not yours to breathe; never was & never will). To simply imagine you could is blasphemy. To jot down the speech of a person does not mean you stole his voice; what matters is what you do with it.
Alhamdulillah brother you are the only person i have come through my entire life who had enough courage to gather enough resources and place them with comparisons. Most Mufti has different opinion yet they can't really give a proper briefing regarding this topic as it is a vast one. Architectural drawing and uses of geometry has been there since the beginning of Islam and also in our life, for various study purposes in medicals, criminal finding, children education...drawing plays a crucial part to give us a clue to find valuable information of what we are looking for. Most Muslims avoids this topic either out of fear of shirk or ignorance. But this is indeed an important matter which has more use other than entertainment purpose.

If you don't even know the miracles that he performed by the will of Allah then you have alot to research
Why the prophet and his companions have killed people is simply because of something called self defense. When an army attacks you you are obviously going to defend yourself, or would you just sit there and let them end you? The prophet ﷺ also chose to live poor and donated everything he had to the poor. So he obviously didn't do it for money
There is a youtube channel you can check out if you are sincere it's called Muslim Lantern. He has already answered these questions in past videos

is an anime face technically something without real facial features or is it also haram? also thank you so much for this video.

After reading your comment, I also began searching for a satisfying answer but there's not a single good video on the topic. Hopefully, this video fills that gap, and Jazakallah for the idea.
To answer your question, full anime faces are also prohibited as:
A) You're still drawing a human, no matter how cartoonish. And
B) Assim al hakeem made a video saying that putting facial features on non-living things is also haram (which I agree with) so anime faces would be prohibted, if you look at it from that angle (I've discussed this in in the description)

Oh, and to further explain, my Qur'an teacher mentioned, since I am doing it as a hobby and that I am not hanging it on the wall and really admire it or sanctifying it, then it is okay.. I am scared that I am doing something wrong.
I have been drawing my whole life and my family never thought that it was haram for drawing characters or whatsoever. I only draw cartoon characters with no realism, it's sonething simple and not with too maby details, and I mostly draw sketches either way.
@KitKat-rs9vb JazakAllahu khairan, brother/sister! :]
I also feel like it's important to choose one RELAIBLE scholar (perferably one you know personally) and stick to him/her
Assalamualaikum!
Yes, what you're saying is definitely right (especially sticking to one madhab) but for some reason, I just can't satisfy my urge for knowledge until I've went over the opinion of every single scholar and then arrived at the conclusion (and then made a video). I know I'm probably in the wrong, but just wanted to get that out there. It's also important to never let your desires choose which scholar to follow (because that leads to people just following 'liberal scholars' and making everything halal)
Jazakallah :)
@@SaadtheMuzlim Walaikum Salam(sorry I should've started with that). There's nothing wrong with gaining knowledge! In fact if you think a certain madhab or scholar makes more sense than the one you're currently following, it may be a good thing to switch
Are making inanimate wooden sculptures allowed? Like characters in games or cartoons that are not real nor are humans or animals?
As a person who was planning to draw portraits and give it a try, thanks mate, may Allah reward you
you've earned a subscriber for being sincere, brother. May Allah reward you in this life and the other.
Thank you so much and Jazakallah!
Knew this a long time ago, but sometime after I've quit working as a 2D animator. Grew up doodling and sketching instinctively although up till today I'm not at the point of being able to paint people's portraits realistically. Knowing this is part of the reason I give up, aside from being burnt out animating and depressed back then. 10 years now unable to be inspired enough to draw/sketch anything, not even just drawing plants or geometric arts/motifs like for buildings. Just sharing my experience, thanks for reading my comment.
This is the best video on this subject! I love you brother!
Jazakallah, that was the goal!
288th sub, I love ur vids. Mashallah
Thank you SO much and Jazakallah!
I have a question, there's these robot toy status that you build called Gunpla, are these permissible to build and play with?
And are they permissible to display?? I feel like they remind me of statues that are worshipped if i display them, because some worshipped statues didn't have detailed faces.
And lastly, if they are haram that means that i can't sell the ones i own to reclaim some of my money back, correct?
i have a question: does this apply only to styles of realism, since that's what mimics real life? so is drawing in a more cartoony style or anime like style haram?
Assalamualaikum!
You shouldn't draw full faces, no matter how cartoonish because:
A) You're still drawing a human face and
B) Assim al Hakeem made a video saying that putting facial features on non-living things is also prohibited, so anime faces would also be unacceptable if you look at it from that angle (ua-cam.com/video/TOQ56qll1Bo/v-deo.html)
Hope this helped,
Jazakallah!
this is not a sin ! and never was or will be! you are not creating a human , youre not giving it life. You are simply observing allah's creation and drawing it . And look at the channel making this video . his profile picture is a drawing of a detailed portrait LOL and talks on top of Quran playing. what a funny youtuber.
Ask yourself , are you impersonating God when you draw humans ? do you have the intention to create a human and give it a spirit ?
No matter how much you draw , it will be soulless and you and i and everyone knows that .
It is KNOWN that Allah is the creator and no one else is and you are just observing .
Drawing was useful ever since day one . This is how we were able to learn and study history by looking at what people draw.
Countless number of murder cases have been solved because people drew portraits of the criminals and victims
This is not a sin.
The ayah in the quran simply meant that you do not create statues . as statues r known for being worshipped.
Brothers and sisters not all drawing is Haram the Islam said that drawing soul owners or human being but nature , river, houses, flowers , cities are allowed to draw but humans, animals , anime all of those kind are Haram.
Barikallahu Fik, very nice video, I'm surprised you have less than 750 Subscribers, with the quality of these informative videos you deserve at least 100k Subs
Ay lets go! Jazakallah for the kind words, inshallah I'll be at a 100k one day
May allah reward you with good in the hereafter
Thank you for this amazing explanation brother, it’s lifted a lot of doubts for me as an artist, and I’ve been refraining from drawing the eyes and even better making pictures where the face itself is absent
I’m interested to see what the opinion is for photography to be haram as the subject of the photo is an actual creation of Allah, and therefore cannot be said to be “replicating” Allah’s creation as the object of the photo is a real creature that Allah himself made
I can draw things almost exactly if I just look at the subject I wanna draw, I draw on my iPad. But later I found that animate beings are haram, so *I deleted all my animate drawings and now I draw inanimate things using my same skill. It’s awesome. I’m glad. I approve this video since I’m knowledgeable about the topic, though digital art is better to be avoided since even technology will serve as a witness for or against you on the day of resurrection. We can turn our phones and tablets etc into anything nowadays, from an alarm clock to a calendar to pen and paper to draw with. A fun thing to do is to draw your real life surroundings! (Of inanimate objects of course)
I thought eyes wasn't allowed and only the other till i saw your video,then i finally knew you just has to make em imperfect to not be that animate,ty Saad.
np Muhammad ;')
idk if that's ur name, but if it was then this'd be sick xD
@@SaadtheMuzlim nah lol,my name's fatha,that means the winner btw :O
So we can draw both eyes without nose and mouth and ear?
@@madarafeen I guess,just make it imperfect like removing nose or neck I think,I can remove the ears since it's hard to draw.

I heard from a scholar that there were 2 types of sujood in the distant past. One was and is for Allah, another was reserved for respecting of some sorts. The 2nd type is in the present also reserved for only Allah, so we cannot bow to anyone anymore.
The first time i heard that music is haram, i disliked it at first
But after a but of research i actually realized that music is harmful, and now i agree with it being haram
But on the painting part…. Ok i would understand why statues might be haram, because they might lead to shrik
But painting? Tbh i need to reflect more about it, i might find a reason why its wrong just like music
But tbh i don’t care about my own opinion
Because i have seen people that say “why is worshipping statues and doing shirk wrong in islam?” And i find their question clearly stupid, but when i think about it, what if i had their same doubts? Would i follow my emotions and desires or Allah?
I would follow allah any day of the week Alhamdullah
بارك الله فيك ❤
Thank you so much for this, ive been quite confused with all the different opinions and ive finally found a fixed answer. I just have one question, does the same ruling apply when making dolls or such? I loved making crochet animals, and now im not sure if i could make them excluding the mouth or eyes
Jazaka Allahu Khairan
Assalamualaikum! Glad I could help.
As for your question, the ruling for 2D and 3D 'drawings' is completely different. Inshallah, this video will answer all your questions: ua-cam.com/video/pI3vUq2LmJo/v-deo.html
Jazakallah!
@@SaadtheMuzlim Thank you!
Wow, its very hard to draw without facial features since im an artist and cant really help my self. But ill try
Wish you well,
Jazakallah
Does this logic also apply to creating avatars in video games such as Roblox? Can I have headless, faceless or one feature missing such as only mouth, or only eyes
Aoa!
Sheikh Assim said it best:

Hope this helps!
So i can draw very well and im recently learning how to draw digitaly. Well this video will help me very much. My Imam told me that i could draw anyithing exept it can live, like drawing a headles man wouldn't be problematic or only the upper part of the body, cause you can't live without the rest of your body and he also told me that drawing cartoon figures aren't haram, and that realistic art was problematic. Well since i draw cartoon (more like "i can only draw") figures he said it is not haram, but by realistic art, i have to draw it so it won't be able to live, like i said: without head,faceless,without eyes or the half of the body doesn't exsist/ isn't drawed. Btw, for the eyes, i could just use Sunglasses, thank you for making this video my brother :)
question: The Older Godzilla Films use situation for the Kaiju,
So I draw them will it be haram since it's an Inanimate suit?
Question 2: Does the same Apply for CGI
Love ur videos. Very informative. ❤
Jazakallah and Thank you so much :D
brooo you didn't talk about drawing anime. i love it sooo much.
Thank you for this detailed video brother, I appreciate it so much. But I do have a question, can we draw humans but unnatural features? Like, wings, horns, animal ears etc. My friends wanted to draw them like mythical creatures but I am not too sure if it’s okay to do so.
Assalamuallaikum! I have been drawing faces for many years,watching this video has been truly educational for me. I feel horrible that I’ve been committing this sin nearly all my life.
My question is that what do I do with the drawings that I have previously made? Nearly ALL of my sketchbooks have drawings of faces and animals in them.
Walaikumusalam! I'm really happy that you found this video helpful :)
If you made those previous drawings in ignorance, then inshallah there will be no sin on you. I would advise you to just tuck those drawings away in a random corner of your house, and not place them in a place in which they're easily visible, in a place of veneration (this is the least you have to do). Some people also burn their drawings, but this isn't necessary (although it might be encouraged, you should search it up :')
Hope this helped,
Jazakallah!
This comment makes me VERY sad , do not feel horrible at all. , this is not a sin ! and never was or will be! you are not creating a human , youre not giving it life.

@@Rayaschool-dp3cg Are you sure? I still love drawing and making cartoons but drawing things living things for fun is haram? This video is informative (I literally find answers to drawing) but I still have my doubts if Allah forbids me from doing what I like
@@V_Blocky Its literally not a sin . I will go to hell if i sit here in the comment section misguiding people. But im not. Im trying to save you from making your life hard from unnecessary misunderstood rules.
Jazakallah khair for your research.
also some things i am wondering:
-do these rulings apply to making animation?
-are there things haram to draw? (NSFW is obviously haram)
-can you do something like a full face on a dead thing?
Drawing only one feature like eyes' i have always wondered if it is permissible because when i get bored in school i always draw something like that and so thank u so much for clearing my doubt thank u sm!!😊
I see a lot of people say things like “oh, can I draw cartoons and Anime?” And i have an opinion on that from my sheikhs and scholars that my family and I follow- the things that fall under tasweer are hyper-realistic sculptures and portraits, so drawing anime as long as it’s not meant to make the artist look like they have a similar ability in creating humans to Allah (swt) is completely fine, but that’s only one opinion. You should follow whatever you feel is best for you.
Jazak allahu khairan brother
hence change the channel picture ❤
AH yes will do that when i get the time, thanks for the reminder
@@SaadtheMuzlim you welcome brother ❤
Brother if you would make a video about the ruling of doing martial arts and are these prohibited in islam, then it would have been a big help for brothers like who are wanting to learn them but are not sure if they should do it or not ❤
