The Picture Makers will be punished on the Day of Resurrection

1366. Narrated ‘Aaisha (radhi Allaahu anha), the mother of the believers :

I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When Allaah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) saw it, he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed signs of disgust on his face, so I said, “O Allaah’s Messenger! I repent to Allaah and His Messenger. (Please let me know) what sin I have done.” Allaah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “What about this cushion?” I replied, “I bought it for you to sit and recline on.” Allaah’s Messenger (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “The painters (i.e. owners) of  these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them. ‘Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).’ ” The Prophet (Sallallaahu Alaihi Wasallam) added, “The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures.”
