The ruling on keeping taxidermied animals

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

Answer:
It is not permissible, because first, they are carrion. Second, they are impure carrion, so it is not permissible to keep them. Third, they are a means to images; a means to making images. If people see you with a taxidermied body, they will bring images and statues and say, “This is like that, like the taxidermied images.”
