Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 6531 ):
Q: What is the ruling in Islam regarding drawing schematic diagrams on the blackboard in the educational process , knowing that the drawings consist of shapes of animals, plants, and insects in the subject of natural history (biology), and that these drawings may be important in the educational process, and that these drawings are not three-dimensional, with awareness of the importance of this science in medicine and agriculture?
A: What among these is an image of a living being, such as insects and other living creatures, is not permissible, even if it is drawn on the blackboard or on paper, and even if the intention is to assist in teaching, because there is no dire necessity for it, due to the generality of the evidence in this matter. And what is not a living being, it is permissible to draw it for teaching and other purposes. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
