About This Book

Ruling on Tasweer, prepared by the Dar-us-Salam Research Division, addresses tasweer in its various forms: pictures, drawings, paintings, and sculptures. The publisher notes that these have become widespread among Muslims in recent times.

The booklet presents evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah for the position that pictures are prohibited, with exceptions for cases of necessity, and discusses the wisdom the authors see behind the prohibition, including its link to the idol worship of earlier nations.
