Resolution No.(31): "Ruling on Drawings Designed by a Talented French Artist, Derived from Verses of the Noble Quran“

Date: 7/11/1413 AH corresponding to 29/4/1993AD.

The Board has received the following question:
What is the ruling of Sharia regarding drawings designed by a talented French artist, derived from verses of the Noble Quran?
Answer: All success is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds.
This artist employs verses of the Noble Quran in depicting human beings, animals, and still images of chariots and the like. The Board is of the view that such an act degrades the verses of the Noble Quran, so it is impermissible, and doing so in good faith doesn`t intercede for this artist because he could have followed in the footsteps of the former Muslim calligraphists who expressed their talents through beautiful drawings in which they wrote verses of the Noble Quran with the purpose of dignifying it, rather than making it a means for something else. And Allah, The Almighty Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

My father passed away, and he had life insurance with "Alico" for an amount of 12,500 dinars. He had paid premiums totaling 2,000 dinars. The insurance company paid us the insured amount. Should we take it, or is it considered forbidden (haram) money? And what should we do with it if it is forbidden?

You may take the amount your father paid to the company. The remaining amount is not yours. However, if you must take it, then accept it and donate it to the poor. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible for a Muslim woman to wear trousers at home?

Wearing trousers at home isn't prohibited so long as non-Mahrams do not see her. And Allah Knows Best.

What should a person who was favored from Allah with a newborn, but couldn`t afford an Aqeeqah, do?

Aqeeqah (the sheep slaughtered on the seventh day from the child`s birth) is a desirable Sunnah for the financially able since Allah, The Exalted, charges not a soul beyond its capacity. Therefore, if the father couldn`t afford the Aqeeqah before the end of his wife`s confinement, then it isn`t due on him, and if he was able to afford it later on, then it is permissible, but if he didn`t until the child reached puberty, the latter can offer the Aqeeqah himself.

I can`t afford to get married, what should I do to curb my sexual drives?

You should offer a lot of voluntary fasting, keep busy with useful and permissible acts and make supplication to Allah, The Exalted.
