and admiring the Person it represents could be regarded at least as something near to worshiping!įirst watching TV and anything which could be regarded as a waste of time has -if we take it very severely and exact- always a touch of makroh. So forbidding them -in this case- makes sense!īut today you'll find even in many Muslim countries some (more or less modern) Statues but nobody even thinks of worshiping them, even if in some cases this statues and placing them in some Public places etc.

But the most relevant fact to me is that our Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade them because many people just converted to Islam and rejected their idols (after a long time worshiping them) so there was a more or less slight chance that they have a fall-back to their former Idolatry. My opinion is that one must take some facts in account for example still when our Messenger died there were many pagan's in the Arabic peninsula and there are still many in some of the 'Muslim Countries' nowadays. i think our dear brother gave you a few helpful links and an answer, but i'd like to explain my Point of View: Then when it comes to drawings and pictures etc. First of all i would say what counts in any matter is the intention.
