Question

Is it permissible to make and sell artwork?

Answer

If the drawing does not involve animate objects or anything that is impermissible in shariah, then it is permissible for one to draw the picture and sell it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
