Question

In old Dhaka, on the occasion of Shabe Barat, bread, cakes, sandesh etc. are made in the shape of different types of animals with different types of sweets. These animals include haram animals such as crocodiles, bhodars, gui snakes, etc. and halal animals such as various species of fish. These are considered to be the special food of Shabe Barat and are sold at very high prices. The question is, is it permissible to make these foods in the shape of animals and to buy and sell them? 5983538596

The questionable arrangement of food on the occasion of Shabe Barat and the practice of making it in the shape of an animal is completely illegal. In the eyes of the Shari'ah, it is a combination of two objectionable things. One. It is haraam to make a portrait of an animal and it is a grave sin. There is a strict prohibition in the Hadith in this regard and a severe punishment has been announced in the Hereafter for the maker of portraits. Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood. He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say that those who make portraits will face the most severe punishment from Allah." - Sahih Bukhari 2/60 In another hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed the usurer and the usurer, the woman who draws tattoos and the woman who receives tattoos, and the woman who makes portraits.-Sahih Bukhari 2/61 It is further narrated in another hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: The angels do not enter the house unless there are idols or pictures.-Saheeh Muslim 2/2122 Two. Arranging such a meal on the occasion of Shabe Barat is considered a religious or virtuous act, which is a clear innovation and superstition. Therefore, it is haraam to make any kind of food in the shape of an animal on the occasion of Shabe Barat or any other occasion. It is important for all Muslims to refrain from this. And it is not permissible to buy or sell food with the shape of such animals. Because, by this, the perpetrators are assisted in that illegitimate work. 6983189477
