The ruling on placing taxidermied animals in the home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on placing taxidermied animal bodies, for example, in the home?

Answer:
This is not permissible. Taxidermied items are not allowed, because they are a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah) and to holding beliefs in them, and to hanging up pictures. It is not permissible. Do not taxidermy a wolf, a fox, or anything else. Yes.
