Saeed bin Abu Hasan says: A man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: O Ibn Abbas! I make pictures, give me a verdict about them. He said: Come near me. So he came near, and he placed his hand on his head and said: I inform you of what I heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Every image-maker will go to Hell. For every picture he made, a soul will be created for it, and it will punish him in Hell. If you must make pictures, then make pictures of trees and things that do not have souls.
