If you check the documentation of Facebook Marketing API for AdCreative (as of time of writing is v2.5):-

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/reference/ad-creative

There is a field image_url. Specify that instead of image_hash.

If you go to the 'Creating->image_url' part of the document:-

"A URL for the image for this creative. You should not use image URLs returned from the FB CDN but instead have the image hosted on your own servers. The image specified at the URL will be saved into the ad account's image library and cannot exceed 8 MB in size. One of these three fields should be specified: image_file, image_hash, or image_url."

Hope this helps. :)
