Can i do comics with the intention of introducing the concept of Towheed and Islam?
Assalaamu Alaikum.
I have a question about drawing cartoons. I live in Japan and comic books are really popular in this country. So I have an intention of drawing comic books for young people and teenagers that introduces the belief of Tawhid and Islam. But there are many harsh hadiths about drawing animated things. Please tell me what I should do. Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh.
Wa Alaikum Assalaam,
الجواب و بالله التوفيق
There are many authentic Ahadith that speak against drawing images of animate objects. Hence, you must refrain from venturing into this.
And Allah Knows Best.
