Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from Britain says: We have an elementary school for children, and there are books for teaching Islamic sciences. They contain images of humans and animals. His question is: Are we required to erase these images?

Answer:
Yes, erase them. Do not leave a single image without erasing it, as in the hadith of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
