Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to act out the role of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in schools, given that some issue rulings permitting this for school students?
Answer:
This is forbidden and not permissible. A decision has been issued by the Council of Senior Scholars stating that it is not permissible to act out the role of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) or to act out the role of the Companions. This is not permissible because of their sanctity, their status, and their rank. Would a fool, an open sinner, or a disbeliever come and act out the role of Abu Bakr or 'Umar? Who says this? Yes.
