Question
I am extremely fond of the Japanese art of gardening called Bonsai. Kindly inform if this is perfectly acceptable in Islam to cut and crop a huge size tree in a miniature form.
Answer
There is nothing with the type of gardening you have referred to. God has made and put trees and other creations for the service of man. Man is allowed to use them according to his will. We cannot declare any such use disallowed until and unless there is some moral concern which I do not see in this case.
