Ruling on keeping images of animals and birds
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! What is the ruling on keeping images in the shape of a cat, a horse, or birds, and placing them in the car, or in the corners of the house, or for children to play with?
This is not permissible and it is forbidden; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us: (that the angels do not enter a house in which there is an image) and this report intends prohibition, so it is not lawful for anyone to place a three-dimensional image in his house, whether the image is of an elephant, a lion, a camel, or anything else.
