Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It has become widespread among women, and in some Quran memorization circles, to have a small three-dimensional model of a dead person's funeral on a piece of plastic. The purpose of this is to remind women of the grave and its punishment. Some of these models are even placed on tables so that many women can see them. The question is: What is the ruling on this practice?
Answer:
This is a statue, and a statue is the most severe form of image-making. Angels do not enter a house that contains a dog or an image, and a statue is the most severe form of image-making. This is from one perspective.
The second point is that this is not the practice of the scholars, nor the practice of the righteous predecessors. The only thing he remembers is this matter. This is Satan making this matter attractive to him. The one who does not remember through the Qur'an and the reminders does not remember through a piece of iron, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Qaf 50:45]
The one who is not reminded by the Qur'an is not reminded by these trinkets that are made. Yes.
