Saeed bin Abi Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once a man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said, "O Abu Al-Abbas! I do the work of making pictures. Give me a fatwa regarding its permissibility or impermissibility." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) ordered him twice to come closer, so he came closer. Then he placed his hand on his head and said: "I will tell you what I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Every image-maker will go to Hell, and for every picture he made, a soul will be created for him, which will punish him in Hell.'" If you cannot do without it, then make pictures of trees and things that do not have souls.
