What is the ruling on drawing or sketching illustrations of the wives of earlier prophets AS?

Summary

This fatwa states that it is not permissible and not appropriate to draw, sketch or portray the prophets, the companions and the family of the Prophet SAW, and its conclusion specifically covers the wives of earlier prophets AS, because it may lead to misunderstanding of their true reality. The view relies on Sheikh ‘Atiyyah Saqr and several fatwa bodies such as Al-Azhar and Dar al-Ifta’ Egypt, citing reasons such as drawings not always matching the original and possibly harming respect for them. The fatwa notes that al-Qaradawi permits drawing living beings for da'wah and education, but the fatwa does not apply that view to the prophets and their families, and adopts the prohibiting opinion.
