Getting one's sister to draw one's school drawings

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2024-02-13 07:23

Q: Due to being busy, I can't find time to complete my practical drawings. Can my sister draw my drawings just for my teacher's signature? I will erase her drawing and draw again by myself afterwards and show it in the exam. Can I do so for the time being just to get my teacher's initial, and not for my exam?

A: It is ok if the teacher doesn't mind and the drawing is of non-animate objects. Drawing animate objects is haraam in Islam, and severe warnings have been sounded in the Mubaarak Hadith for those who get involved in the grave sin of photography and picture-making.

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