A person came to Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ and said: I am the person who paints pictures; give me a religious verdict about them. He (Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ ) said to him: Come near me (still further). He came near him so much so that he placed his hand upon his head and said: I am going to narrate to your what I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I heard him say: All the painters who make pictures would be in the fire of Hell. The soul will be breathed in every picture prepared by him and it shall punish him in the Hell, and he (Ibn 'Abbas رضی اللہ عنہ ) said: If you have to do it at all, then paint the pictures of trees and lifeless things; and Nasr bin 'Ali confirmed it.
