Question

At my work, we are doing a project translating Christian videos about the bible into other languages. The videos also contains drawings of people that are in the bible. Is this permissible?

Answer

This is not only haraam, but it is promoting kufr and disbelief. It will be safe for you to renew your imaan.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
