技艺与手工艺可能与科学相关，例如商业、航海和农业。在这类情况下，它们可以不受限制、不附条件地学习。然而，有时技艺与手工艺与文化相连，并受某种人生观的影响，例如绘画和雕塑。如果这种人生观与伊斯兰的人生观相抵触，则不采纳这些技艺与手工艺。

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.

证据即是第162条的证据，也就是那些允许知识与科学的一般性经文，以及“若某类被允许之事会导致危害，则该类事物即被禁止”的原则。因为各种技艺与工业都属于知识的范畴，所以它们是被允许的，因为它们包含在关于知识的一般性经文之内。如果它们由于受某种特定观点的影响而带来危害，那么它们便被禁止。这是指没有经文禁止的情况。至于有经文明确禁止的情形，例如绘制有灵魂（Ruh）的事物——无论是人、动物、鸟类还是其他——或雕塑有灵魂的事物，则是被禁止的，因为其被禁止是依据那些明确禁止绘画与雕塑的传述。

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.
