Question

Some Ulama say that there is no consensus on the prohibition of pictures of animate objects. Is this correct?

Answer

Those who claim that there is no Ijma' on hurmat-e-tasaaweer (prohibition of pictures of animate objects) are members of the Brigade of Iblees. They should acquire firstly expertise in the rudimentary rules of Istinja. Only then will their mental faculty gain the vision which is imperative for understanding the Laws of the Shariah.
