In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Sayyiduna Abu Talha رضي الله تعالى relates that Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم mentioned:

The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures.

Sa’eed رحمه الله تعالىrelates that he was by Ibn Abbas رضي الله تعالى عنهwhen a person came and said: O father of Abbas! Verily I earn my livelihood from the earnings of my hands, and I make pictures. Ibn Abbas رضي الله تعالى عنه said should I not inform you of what I heard Rasulullah صلى الله عليه و سلم say? I heard Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم say whoever draws any picture Allah Ta’ala will punish him until he blows a soul into that picture and he will never ever be able to blow a soul into it. Upon hearing this, this person passed wind and turned yellow in the face. Ibn Abbas رضي الله تعالى عنهtold him if you refuse but to draw then, you should draw stuff which does not have a soul like a tree.

And Allah knows best
