What is the ruling on using visual aids depicting living beings as a teacher in the primary school stage?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another person says that he is a teacher in the primary school stage and is required to use visual aids depicting living beings, so what do you say about that?

Answer:
There is no harm in using visual aids other than images; you can clarify for them what is required using a pen, or with images that do not have a soul, such as a mountain or a car. As for designing images of living beings, there is no hearing and no obeying; rather, obedience is only in what is right. Never make images. As for using them as a mat, there is no harm; using them as a mat or the like is not a problem, and using them as a means is not a problem, but you must not make images yourself. However, if you buy a mat that has an image on it and you use it as a mat, it does not harm. Yes. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when he saw the curtains at Aisha’s, he became angry and tore them, and he made them into cushions. The takbir (saying Allahu Akbar) is upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah, Jibril ordered the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to make the curtains into cushions, cushions, two cushions placed in a corner to be used as mats, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did that. So it is not a problem to use a mat as a mat and to step on it. Yes.
