living objects - is it considered major or minor kufr?
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Is making pictures of (all)
that which has a soul (from amongst the humans and animals)
(considered) major kufr
or minor kufr
or is it (just) a sin?
Response:
It is not (considered) major kufr,
however it is considered from the major sins; for that which
it contains of serious warning and the cursing of the one
who makes the picture(s). Along with this, he is (considered)
an accomplice to major shirk.
And
with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and
salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
