Najafi Q&A: statues

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is forbidden to sculpt a statue for everything which has a soul, in addition to the imams (PBUH). How do you know, my son, that this statue resembles the infallible? Then, you may commit another sin which is saying that these statues are for the Imams (PBUT) in addition to the fact that these statues remove the prestige of those glorified personalities. The evil side, especially the enemies of Ahlulbait (PBUT), seeks to spread this type of meaning in society. So, it is forbidden to make and display the statue. Allah knows best.
