Sahih al-Bukhari 5963 (Book 77, Hadith 179) #5723
Prohibiting Pictures in Islam

SUMMARY: Making pictures is prohibited in Islam and those who do so will be held accountable for it on the Day of Resurrection.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: I heard Muhammad saying, "Whoever makes a picture in this world will be asked to put life into it on the Day of Resurrection, but he will not be able to do so".
حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّضْرَ بْنَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، يُحَدِّثُ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُمْ يَسْأَلُونَهُ وَلاَ يَذْكُرُ النَّبِيَّ حَتَّى سُئِلَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا كُلِّفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ، وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
According to this hadith, making pictures is prohibited in Islam. This means that Muslims should not make any kind of images or drawings that represent living beings, such as humans or animals. On the Day of Resurrection, those who have made such pictures will be asked to bring them to life but they will not be able to do so. This hadith teaches us that we should not make any kind of images or drawings as it is against Islamic teachings and we will be held accountable for it on the Day of Judgment. We should also remember that Allah alone has the power to create life and no one else can do so.
