Question:
The art of paper folding in which you can make structures of many things… Boxes, clothes, flowers, objects and Animals. Is making Animals okay? Some do it as an art, even as adults. But I mainly think it’s for children. It’s highly mathematical.
Answer:
Origami is the traditional Japanese art or technique of folding paper into a variety of decorative or representational forms, as of animals or flowers. Image-making is of two categories: by hand,and by means of machines (cameras). Image-making by hand is haram, especially if such image creates shadow i.e. if it is three-dimensional.
