Teaching children to perform tawaf using a model of the Ka'bah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: There is a woman who teaches the boys and wants to teach them tawaf around the Ka'bah, so she brought a model of the Ka'bah, dressed them in ihram, and asked them to recite the talbiyah and perform tawaf around this model for the sake of teaching. Is her action correct?
Answer:
A decision was issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars forbidding it. It is not permissible to place a model of the Ka'bah in any place. This is not permissible, because the ignorant and those who do not know believe that this model has the reward of the Ka'bah and is like the Ka'bah. So, a model of the Ka'bah should not be made. Yes.
