Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In some mosques, they put up pictures that show how to perform wudu'. Is it permissible to put up these pictures?
Answer:
This is one of the greatest evils. Teaching wudu' is not done with pictures. Teaching wudu' is done through action and speech. Explanation, speech, and action. If you want to learn wudu', perform wudu'. Just as the Companions taught the Companions the wudu' of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). They would bring water and perform wudu'. They would say, "This is how I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform wudu'." If you want to learn something, one teaches it by action, not by picture. Yes.
