Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, what is your opinion on hanging school posters for the purpose of teaching children, which contain images of living beings, and does the ruling apply if the images are photographs or hand-drawn?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I think they should not be hung, and they can be displayed on the whiteboard for the children.
The questioner : Displayed on the whiteboard? May Allah preserve you?
The Shaykh : Displayed on the whiteboard. The teacher puts it on the whiteboard and tells the students to look at it, or displays it temporarily by hanging it with a wire, and then when the lesson is over, he folds it up and puts it away.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Some teachers say there that they need some boards, such as for wudu (ablution) and others, to be hung for a period of time so that the children get used to seeing them.
The Shaykh : No, but during the lesson, there is no harm.
The questioner : There is no harm in that.
The Shaykh : Yes, only during the lesson.
The questioner : And if the period is longer?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I do not see hanging them. In fact, hanging images is not praiseworthy.
