Sahih al-Bukhari 3224 (Book 59, Hadith 35) #3082
Prohibiting Pictures in Islam

SUMMARY: Making pictures is prohibited as it is against the teachings of Islam and will be punished on the Day of Resurrection.

Narrated 'Aisha: I stuffed for the Prophet ﷺ a pillow decorated with pictures (of animals) which looked like a Namruqa (ie a small cushion). He came and stood between the two doors and his face began to change. I said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! What did we do wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have prepared this pillow for you, so that you may recline on it". He said, "Don't you know that angels do not enter a house wherein there are pictures; and whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked to give life to (what he has created)?"
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَخْلَدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، أَنَّ نَافِعًا، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ حَشَوْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ وِسَادَةً فِيهَا تَمَاثِيلُ كَأَنَّهَا نُمْرُقَةٌ، فَجَاءَ فَقَامَ بَيْنَ الْبَابَيْنِ وَجَعَلَ يَتَغَيَّرُ وَجْهُهُ، فَقُلْتُ مَا لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ الْوِسَادَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَتْ وِسَادَةٌ جَعَلْتُهَا لَكَ لِتَضْطَجِعَ عَلَيْهَا‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لاَ تَدْخُلُ بَيْتًا فِيهِ صُورَةٌ، وَأَنَّ مَنْ صَنَعَ الصُّورَةَ يُعَذَّبُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقُولُ أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by Aisha explains that making pictures is prohibited in Islam. According to this hadith, Allah's Messenger said that angels do not enter a house wherein there are pictures and whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked to give life to what he has created. This means that those who make pictures or idols will have to answer for their actions on the day when all people are judged for their deeds. The punishment could range from being forgiven if one repents sincerely or even harsher punishments depending on how much one has sinned against Allah's commands. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to remember this teaching and avoid making any kind of picture or idol as it goes against Islamic teachings.
