The ruling on using artificial flowers for adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on artificial flowers used for adornment? Is their ruling the same as that of three-dimensional animal figures, such as ornaments and statues, or is it permissible to adorn oneself with them in vases?
Answer:
There is no harm in using artificial images and placing them in the house, because they are not among the forbidden images. However, extravagance in this, exchanging them as gifts, and giving flowers, especially to the sick, is a custom of the Christians. Therefore, one should not follow this practice, because it is imitating them in giving flowers to the sick or to others, following the Christian custom on their festival days. As for a person taking flowers for his house for adornment, there is no objection to that, whether they are artificial or dried. Yes.
