cinematic math level Academy, I get asked this question again and again about whether it's okay to grow pictures or not. So I'm gonna give you four opinions on rolling something in the Hanafi madhhab.
The whole thing actually is, you know, the whole debate is around this thing, which viewer does something have a soul or not? Because in only a hadith where this thing is prohibited, there's a word here, which is the Swede, which the personalism uses. He says the word almost so we don't those who do to swear. Now, was it a word that refers to 3d forms, like the idols, which the polytheists in the personal license time used to create because a lot of it is to do with them. So they would create a statue and the people would worship those statues and the personal, some said, Those who do the Swede. And if he's referring to those statues, it means that on the Day of Judgment, the person
says that Allah will bring those things back up and ask the person to put the soul in those things because only Allah azza wa jal is the harlot, he's the creator. Now, in other words, I might have said, the sweet is not just to do with the idol, the said is to do with drawings as well. So anything that might depict something which is zero, again, something that has got a soul, you got to be careful whether you can draw it or not. So I'm going to give you these opinions here in the Hanafi madhhab. And the first one is, these are basic drawing that I've just done. Now you can tell I'm not a good drawer, but
the first is this one, which is you see the head here, it's got the eyes, it's got the nose, it's got the mouth and everything else, but the the body is actually detached from the head. So according to the to the strictest opinion in the Hanafi madhhab. This is allowed. So if you draw anything, you just detach the head from the body, why? The reason is, because then it doesn't become the roar. It you can't say it's got a soul, because you can't say that thing is alive now. Or it could be alive, he couldn't be alive, because there's no head, there's no neck there, there's nothing joining it to the body. Right. So that's the strictest sort of opinion, then you've got this one, the next Strix
opinion, which is that you can draw the full picture with their head with the neck joining the head to the body and so on. But you should do my whole watch, which which means that remove the features of the face, which is that don't have any eyes, nose mouth, which again, the role of meaning that this this thing, you can't even call it something that would live, right? It couldn't have a soul it couldn't live because it doesn't have any eyes, nose, mouth, and what creature can live like that. Alright, so that's the, that's the next source opinion. And the next opinion is that you can have the full body, you can have the neck, you can have the whole face, but as long as you remove the
eyes, okay, and that's an opinion from a beloved Ambassador Lahoma that if he doesn't have eyes, then you know, how can it be zero, right? How can it be something which has a soul.
And the next one is next opinion isn't an opinion in the 100. Remember that for educational purposes, children can draw it draw the full thing. So eyes, nose, and mouth and with everything else, like neck and body anything attached. Although this is a very small, weak minor opinion in the Hanafi. Metal, I must point that out. Okay. So I'm sure there's going to be other opinions out there, which would say that all of these are wrong, because of the fact that you're drawing something I'm sure you know, outside of the Hanafi Mother, you're gonna get other opinions. That's up to you, which whichever, you know, Madhavi follow or whichever way you take. But I thought I'd
share this with you. So it depends now which one you want to take. And depending on that, you can you can go ahead with your children growing things, especially when it comes to children. Can they draw can they not grow? So personally, this one is one of the easiest ones to get away with, with having everything there. But just make sure that the head is not attached to the body. And it's actually the strictest opinion, meaning that if you can get this done, then according to most scholars in the Hanafi madhhab is actually allowed. So that's probably the easiest one to go with. If you still want to remain on the strictest opinion. And remember that a lot of this is to do with,
you know, is to do with this whole thing about the role whether whether it is something we can have a soul.
And some have debated whether this actually falls under the sphere because they said is the sweet is to do 3d images. what others have said no, it's to do with 2d images as well. And even if it is if it is to the images, then this would be the one that would get you out of trouble. So anyway, I just thought I'd share that with you. So now we're looking at
