Which Sun, Moon, and Stars Are Forbidden to Draw and Photograph
Question
Answer
Hello,
Sun, half sun - permitted. Circle without rays - permitted. Circle with rays - forbidden. Circle with rays when there is no color inside [black, white] or colors that are not red and yellow - white, if it is not colored in a way that resembles the sun, there is no prohibition.
Moon, if it is recognizable by itself as the moon, it is forbidden. However, if it is not recognizable by itself as the moon and requires additional explanation, it is permitted to draw it, therefore if one draws a black and white circle - it is permitted, as it is not recognizable. Half moon - forbidden.
Stars, circle alone without rays - permitted. Circle with five rays - forbidden.
And it should be known that although it is forbidden to draw and photograph all of the above, nevertheless, one should not protest against those who are lenient in this matter.
