'''Sculpture''' | '''Sculpture''' has become a prominent topic in contemporary jurisprudence, gaining more attention due to the increasing use of sculptures and statues, leading to the emergence of new issues. Most Shi’a and Sunni jurists consensually consider the creation of sculptures depicting living beings, such as humans and animals, as prohibited (haram) based on narrations. However, the construction of sculptures depicting non-living entities has not received significant attention. | ||
Some jurists, however, reject the absolute prohibition of crafting sculptures of living beings. They base their argument on criteria derived from narrations, deeming the prohibition applicable only to cases involving [practices] misleading from the path of God, idolatry, resembling the actions of the Creator, or imitating polytheists. | Some jurists, however, reject the absolute prohibition of crafting sculptures of living beings.

Exceptions to the prohibition of crafting sculptures of living beings include making incomplete or partial sculptures, as per the fatwa of S[[Ayyid Abolqasem Khoei|ayyid Abolqasem Khoei]], creating sculptures using machinery, according to the fatwa of [[Sayyid Ruhollah Khomeini]], and creating sculptures for medical education, as suggested by [[Naser Makarem Shirazi]]. In Shi’a jurisprudential works, there is no distinct section dedicated to sculpture, but relevant discussions are intertwined within chapters on prayer and trade. However, there are independent works dedicated to this subject. | Exceptions to the prohibition of crafting sculptures of living beings include making incomplete or partial sculptures, as per the fatwa of S[[Ayyid Abolqasem Khoei|ayyid Abolqasem Khoei]], creating sculptures using machinery, according to the fatwa of [[Sayyid Ruhollah Khomeini]], and creating sculptures for medical education, as suggested by [[Naser Makarem Shirazi]].
