Question:
Can a kosher Klaf of a Navi have illustrations in color.
Illustrations done by someone other than sofer.
Above and/or below the text?
Written in Lithuania in the 1930s.
Answer:
It is controversial if it allowed to have pictures or not, l’chatchila it shouldn’t be done, but in retrospect if it was already done (unlike a sefer torah) it will not make the navi posul.
Sources:
Eiyahu Rabba 691-7, Maharsham O:CH 691, Zera Emes 1-100, Shevet Hekehuna 8 pg. 156-159, they talk about pictures in a megillah, which has the same halacha as a navi.
