Frosty The Snowman, Like The Mona Lisa And Practically All Of Western Art Haram

Here.

The fatwa-issuer might have allowed just a little fun, explained that  there was no need to forbid something so fleeting, that diffugere-nives and all that would quickly take care of any snowman any child had built. But he just couldn’t hold back. So no Frosty, and no Mona Lisa either, and no Las Meninas, and no Rokeby Venus, and no La Tempesta and no….well, no depiction of humans anywhere. A ceramic plate with Arabic calligraphy, a Qur’an, Iznik tulip-tiles, mosque architecture — that’s about it for art in Islam.
