or we (angels) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or a picture. What about angel of death? We know people die everywhere, does this make it contradictory?

While the mirror maker or live-tv-broadcaster cannot be credited for depiction of imagery on their mediums. They're merely using the laws of reflection, to reflect the original subject. | |
| Jul 26, 2012 at 4:32 | comment | added | Anwar | Drawing is prohibited because there is an attempt to represent God's creation. Not for the fact that, he failed to clearly represent God's creation and fall into the catagory of people who wanted to alter God's creation. So, representing human in Photography has the same effect. But, yes, the majority of Scholars agreed that, that can be done, if needed. But, generally is prohibited. | |
| Jul 26, 2012 at 4:28 | comment | added | Anwar | @Pureferret I knew that meaning. But think, is it really? A photo is an one-angled, static, imagery presentation which if far from a real creation. We cannot say, A photo is representation of God's creation. That sounds very illogical. | |

| Jun 28, 2012 at 13:16 | comment | added | Anwar | I don't understand this reasoning "photography would not fall into the category of pictures since it is an absolute copy of God's creation, and it would not be recreating God's creation." How photography can be an absolute copy of God's creation? This is terrible to belief and to read. I strongly disagree with this. But +1 for your overall answer. | |
