Can we Make or Buy a Statue of an Idol?
Divine Code for August 28 2022
Today Page 143-144
From topic 5:1 -- 5:3
It is forbidden to make for oneself a statue or an image of an idol that is worshiped, whether one makes it himself or tells others to make it for him, even if he does not intend to serve it, as it says, "you shall not make for yourself a carved statue nor any image etc.''
It is forbidden to buy a statue or image of an actual idol, even if one does not intend to serve it, for it is forbidden to own or keep on one's property, any type of idol, even if this particular person will not serve at all.
