: قالالنبيصلىاللهعليهوسلم ( لاتدخلالملائكةبيتافيهكلبولاتصاوير )
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures.
صحيحالبخاري 2225دارالفكر

Sa’eed رحمهاللهتعالىrelates that he was by Ibn Abbas رضياللهتعالىعنهwhen a person came and said: O father of Abbas! Verily I earn my livelihood from the earnings of my hands, and I make pictures. Ibn Abbas رضياللهتعالىعنهsaid should I not inform you of what I heard Rasulullah صلىاللهعليهوسلمsay? I heard Nabi صلىاللهعليهوسلمsay whoever draws any picture Allah Ta’ala will punish him until he blows a soul into that picture and he will never ever be able to blow a soul into it. Upon hearing this, this person passed wind and turned yellow in the face. Ibn Abbas رضياللهتعالىعنهtold him if you refuse but to draw then, you should draw stuff which does not have a soul like a tree.
And Allah knows best
