Assalamu alykum :)

Bro I think its not permissible. Since Bleach is about Shinigami and Hollows which have heads,eyes etc. All these are essential for life.

This is a answer from Sheikh Sami el Majid:

"Drawing an image with all the essential parts for life - such as the chest area, the abdomen, the head - will surely be prohibited even if the person does not intend to draw someone specific and just something from his imagination. The prohibition will be there as long as the drawing looks like a living creature, whether human or animal. This is unlawful. This is the emulation of Allah’s creation. It was mentioned in an authentic hadîth that Allah said: “Who is more of an oppressor than the one who aspires to create as I create.”

ALlah knows best

Asalam alaikum,

My local Imam told me drawing was OK because "we are not worshipping what we have drawn", and I happen to be a rather good artist...

Asalam alaikum,

As-salaamu `alaykum,

With all respect, I believe your Imam has erred. `Aa'ishah, the mother of believers, didn't even draw let alone worship the curtains which had images upon them. Yet the Prophet, sall-Allaahu `alayhi wasallam ordered them to be torn down. Let's not forget the threatening hadeeth, that the pictures makers will receive the worst of punishments in the hereafter,

On the authority of `A`ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) it is reported that the Messenger of Allah said:

"The most severely punished of people on the Day of Resurrection will be those who try to make the like of Allah's creation." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

Instead of relying on our opinions, and that of our local Imams, we should put these serious, important questions to scholars, the inheritors of the Prophets. Never have I found one of them, whether from the past or present permit the drawing of such images, except in very isolated cases, such as for example, medical usage. Brother ChechenMaga recently posted Shaykh `Ubaylaan's position regarding images, he gives a brief outline on what the scholars have said regarding their usage and permissibility/impermissibility.

Allaah knows best about this affair, I ask you to read the following chapter from Shaykh ul-Islaam Muhammad Ibn `Abdul-Wahhaab at-Tamimi's 'Kitaab at-Tawheed'. Notice how it is based upon nothing but the Qur'aan and Sunnah,

Please note, there are some additional notes which appear to be from either the translator or an explainer.

Technically, nature could be living to. I think more precisely you meant, "pictures of objects that possess souls". And yes, this is permissible for us alhamdulillaah.

Sorry, what I meant is that it's better to say, we cannot make pictures of things which possess souls. If we say living things, we are prohibiting trees since they are also living. But trees are not possessors of souls, hence their exception. That's what I meant.

Assalamu alaikum brothers and sisters of my Ummah.
I didn't know this !!!
it's good to know though. Thank god i'm not good what so ever at drawing anything not even stick men lol. Anyways to the brother who asked what should I do with my drawings, I suggest as the other brother said to burn them and witness the burning and also ask Allah for your forgivness and may Allah replace your joy with something else more valuble for your obidience.
Take care all of you
peace :)

So brothers and sisters, we'll decide to barbeque all these drawings we've drawn about anime and other living things with a soul.:cool:
and inshallah we will be forgiven for this.

that is such a harsh reply, there is nothing wrong if sis amelia draws flowers or mountains etc!

He does'nt mean the drawings of her, but mine. Which are about living creatures with souls. Afcourse there's nothing wrong about drawing flowers or mountains.

I used to draw anime pictures - very pretty too. But since I found out about this,I've stopped drawing them completely. And I've destroyed all the drawings I saved up too.

It feels good now that I did something for the sake of Allah. :) I would advise everyone else to do the same.
