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.

It is recommended to consult the Department of Fatwa for further guidance. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to openly announce the engagement of a woman who is in her waiting period (iddah)?

It is not permissible to openly announce the engagement of a woman in her waiting period (Iddah), but it is permissible to hint (imply) at it if she is in her waiting period after the death of her husband. And Allah Knows Best.

Does ill-gotten money hinder the answering of the Du`a (supplication) and the means of subsistence?

Sins hinder the answering of the Du`a, and deprive the sinner from means of subsistence; whereas, acts of obedience facilitate making a living. Allah, The Almighty, Says (What means) : "And for those who fear God, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine." [At-Talaq/2-3].
