What is the ruling on Picture-making?

An old clip from Abu Taymiyyah Muhammad Jaylani. Highlights: 04:35 - The origin of many of the Fitan that people are afflicted with today goes back to pictures 9:00 - IT'S BEST TO LEAVE IT OFF. WE DON'T WANT TO RISK BEING PUNISHED YAWMUL QIYAMAH FOR A MATTER WHICH HAS NO BENEFIT. 9:45 - Some restrict the prohibition of Picture-making to hand drawn images. This is wrong! All pictures are HARAAM. 14:15 - Had these phones been present in those times, it would have been Haram likewise. EVERY PICTURE IS HARAM WITHOUT EXCEPTION, because the evidences are general. 16:20 - Some allow Picture-making for dawah purposes. The reality is, we are in need of the scholar's voice - NOT HIS FACE. Is the knowledge coming out of his face, or his mouth? And in some masaajid, when the man is giving the Khutbah you have a screen in the women's section where the women are looking at the Khateeb. This can cause a big corruption...what happened to lowering the gaze?!
