The Ruling on the Use of Images in Education
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on using images in education as one of the means?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Education has been ongoing since the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is proceeding in the best manner. There is no image-making in it. Image-making is forbidden; image-making of living beings is forbidden, it is not permissible. As for image-making of things that do not have souls, such as mountains, rivers, trees, seas, buildings, cars, or equipment that has no soul, there is nothing wrong with making images of them. As for things that have souls, it is not permissible to make images of them, neither for education nor for anything else, because of the severe warning regarding those who make images. Give me some space; one is not compelled to use images.
