Is Graphic Designing a Viable Career Choice?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can I make a career in graphic designing? Please tell me, its very important for me to know.

Bismillaah

A: Designing and sketching of all inanimate objects (e.g. trees, landscapes, etc) are permissible in Islam. Designing and sketching of all animate objects are forbidden and haraam in Islam. Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Those involved in picture-making (of animate objects) will be subjected to the worst forms of punishment on the day of Qiyaamat.” (Bukhari 2/880, Muslim 2/201)

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