مقدمة / Introduction
Knowing the Sharia rulings that a Muslim needs in their life is an individual obligation upon every Muslim, because they are commanded to perform their actions according to the rulings of Sharia. This is because the address of obligation with which the Lawgiver addressed the people and the believers is a definitive address that leaves no choice for anyone, whether in faith or in human actions. So His saying, may He be exalted: {Believe in God and His Messenger} is like His saying: {God has permitted trade and forbidden usury}, both are addresses of obligation. And it is definitive in terms of being an address, not in terms of the subject with which He addressed us. As evidenced by His saying, may He be exalted: {It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when God and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair}, and as evidenced by accountability for every action, He said, may He be exalted: {So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it}. And He said, may He be exalted: {On the Day when every soul will find present [before it] what it has done of good and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And God warns you of Himself}, and He said: {And every soul will be fully compensated for what it did}. So the obligation came in a decisive manner, and the Muslim is obligated in a decisive manner to abide by the rulings of Sharia when performing any action. As for the subject of the obligation, i.e., the thing that God has obligated him with, whether in request, abandonment, or choice, it may be an obligation, it may be recommended, it may be permissible, it may be forbidden, and it may be disliked. As for the obligation itself, it is definitive and there is no choice in it, and it has only one state, which is the obligation to abide by it. Hence, it was an obligation upon every Muslim to know the Sharia rulings that they need in worldly life. As for knowing more than what they need in their lives from the Sharia rulings, it is a collective obligation and not an individual obligation; if some perform it, it falls from the rest. This is supported by what was narrated from Anas bin Malik, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim), and even if what is meant here is all knowledge that a Muslim needs in their life, then it includes jurisprudence in terms of the rulings that a Muslim needs in their life, from acts of worship, transactions, and other things. Hence, studying jurisprudence is one of the necessary things for Muslims, but rather one of the rulings that God has imposed upon them, whether it is an individual obligation or a collective obligation. And the noble hadiths have come urging the study of jurisprudence, as the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, has urged the learning of jurisprudence, as Al-Bukhari narrated through Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Whoever God intends good for, He gives him understanding in the religion), and from Saeed bin Al-Musayyib from Abu Hurairah, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Whoever God intends good for, He gives him understanding in the religion), narrated by Ibn Majah. These hadiths are explicit in the virtue of jurisprudence and the urging to study it. And it was narrated from Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, that he said: (The death of a thousand worshippers who stand the night and fast the day is easier than the death of an intelligent person who is aware of what God has made lawful and unlawful), narrated by Ibn Hanbal.Table of Contents

خاتمة / Conclusion
The absence of an exception for three-dimensional images, as opposed to the exception made for two-dimensional images, and the association of the prohibition of acquiring statues with removing the form of the statue, as a statue, indicates that the prohibition of acquiring three-dimensional statues is a definitive prohibition, meaning that acquiring statues of animate beings is forbidden. Children's dolls are exempted from the prohibition of three-dimensional statues due to the presence of texts regarding that: Al-Bukhari narrated from Aisha, may God be pleased with her: (I used to play with dolls in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him), meaning toys in the form of girls, and Al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Al-Rubayyi bint Muawwidh Al-Ansariyyah, may God be pleased with her: (... so we make - and in a narration, we make - them a toy from wool, so if one of them cries for food, we give it to him until it is time for breaking the fast).
