Question
What is the ruling on drawing cartoon images, and those that have a soul, such as images of animals?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is disliked to pray in a room that has a picture with a soul, and it is most disliked if it is in the place of prostration, then in front of the praying person, then to his right, then to his left. It is considered a dislike of a lesser degree if it is behind him, and God knows best.
