Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the ruling on using images as a means of learning and education, given that we need to teach children about the lion, so we show them an image of the lion, or the elephant, or something else?
Answer:
And what do the children need with the lion? Teach them that there is no god but Allah, its conditions and its pillars. Teach them the rulings of the prayer, dutifulness to parents, and the prohibition of forbidden things. As for the lion, what do they need it for? When they grow up, if they grow up and gain intellect and understanding, then yes.
