Ibara ya 176
Article 176
Sanaa na ufundi vinaweza kuhusiana na sayansi, kama vile biashara, urambazaji na kilimo. Katika hali kama hizo, husomwa bila vizuizi wala masharti. Wakati mwingine, hata hivyo, sanaa na ufundi huunganishwa na utamaduni na huathiriwa na mtazamo fulani wa maisha, kama vile uchoraji na uchongaji. Iwapo mtazamo huu wa maisha unapingana na mtazamo wa maisha wa Kiislamu, sanaa na ufundi kama hivyo havichukuliwi.
Arts and crafts may be related to science, such as commerce, navigation and agriculture. In such cases, they are studied without restriction or conditions. Sometimes, however, arts and crafts are connected to culture and influenced by a particular viewpoint of life, such as painting and sculpting. If this viewpoint of life contradicts the Islamic viewpoint of life, these arts and crafts are not taken.
Ushahidi ulio nao ni ushahidi wa Kifungu cha 162, ambao ni ujumla wa dalili zinazoruhusu elimu/sayansi, na kanuni kwamba aina moja ya kitu kinachoruhusiwa huharamishwa ikiwa inaleta madhara, kwa sababu sanaa na viwanda ni taarifa, hivyo ni halali kwa kuwa vimo ndani ya ujumla wa dalili kuhusu elimu. Ikiwa vinaleta madhara kutokana na kuathiriwa na mtazamo fulani maalum, basi vinaharamishwa. Hii ni pale ambapo hakuna maandiko yanayokataza. Kuhusu pale ambapo kuna maandiko yanayokataza, kama vile kuchora kitu chenye roho (Ruh), iwe ni binadamu, mnyama, ndege au kingine, au kuchonga kitu chenye roho, basi kinaharamishwa kwa sababu kimekatazwa kutokana na Hadithi zilizopokewa ambazo zinakataza kwa uthabiti kuchora na kuchonga.
The evidence is the evidence for Article 162, which was the generality of the evidences which permitted knowledge/science, and the principle that one type of a permitted thing is prohibited if it leads to harm, because the arts and industries are information, and so they are permitted since they are encompassed by the generality of the evidences regarding knowledge. If they bring about harm due to their being influenced by a particular viewpoint then they are prohibited. This is the case if there is no text forbidding it. As for when there is a text which forbids it, such as drawing something which has a soul (Ruh), whether human, animal, bird or otherwise, or sculpting something with a soul, then it is prohibited because it is forbidden due to the narrations reported which decisively prohibit drawing and sculpting.
