The ruling on keeping taxidermied animals

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to keep taxidermied animals?

Answer:
It is not permissible, because they are carcasses. First, they are impure carcasses, so keeping them is not allowed. Second, they are a means to images, a means to making images. If people see you, and you have placed a taxidermied corpse, they will go around making images and statues and say, “This is like the taxidermied images.” Yes.
