| 520 | |a This paper principally discusses the religious aspects of Living Being's representations within Sunni Islamic and Saudi art contexts. It first examines classic Islamic scholars' visions (conservative and liberal) towards full-figure Living Being depictions, and then compares these visions with their contemporary counterparts. Both classic and contemporary visions tremendously differed. I argue that contemporary Islamic perspectives permitted full-figure representations on two-dimensional surfaces (with some limitations), and at the same time, continued to prohibit three-dimensional depictions. Due to the flatness of the drawn/painted illustration, this study discusses how two-dimensional full-figure Living Beings is no longer sinful as assumed before. | ||
