Is it legal to print a digital banner?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am providing services of advertisement agency which includes (printing of photographs of men, animals, other religious statues (devi, devtas) by way of digital boards, hoardings, banners and printing of flex papers. I approached some Ulama but I am not satisfied by their views. Please I seek your advice about this business. Is it halal or haram? Please understand the question and give detail explanation in view of Shariah.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 651/651/SD=08/1437)

It is not lawful as per the Shariah to print the pictures of human beings, animals, devi devtas on digital board and printing flex paper. Hadiths sternly warns on making the pictures of living beings. Hence it is not lawful to provide service of advertisement agency that contains living beings.

Allah knows Best!
