Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Is teaching prayer and ablution through pictures, and likewise sticking them up…
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Is teaching prayer, is teaching prayer and ablution through pictures, and likewise sticking them up in mosques and on some books, part of the guidance of the Salaf, given that…
The Shaykh:
No, it is not part of the guidance of the Salaf; this is the practice of those who engage in frivolity. It is not the guidance of the Salaf. One does not use pictures, even if they say they have no heads or faces. This is frivolity. The Muslims know how to perform ablution, praise be to Allah, and they know how to pray. They have not reached such a state of ignorance. This is frivolity. Hanging them in mosques is not permissible. I hold that nothing should be hung in mosques. Mosques are not places for advertisements or for sticking up papers. Nothing should ever be hung in mosques. Yes.
