Question : #633

Subject:	painting
Question:	If painting a living being is prohibited, why no one says anything against the paintings of Karbala depicting the zuljinah and all the bibis mourning after Imam Hussain (a.s) was martyred. What do you say about these kind of paintings?
Answer:	If due deference and respect is observed, and the scene does not contain anything that would detract from their holy pictures in the minds [of the viewers], there is no problem.
