Ruling on a teacher creating images of living beings

Question:
Is it permissible for a teacher to create images of living beings when teaching, considering this a means of clarification, given that the authentic hadiths prohibit creating images of living beings?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a teacher or anyone else to create images of living beings; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers and informed that they will be the most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection. He also informed that they will be punished and it will be said to them: "Bring to life what you have created." Clarification is possible without creating images, and Allah the Exalted did not necessitate for the community in education what He has forbidden them; rather, the permissible means are sufficient and adequate for one who fears Allah and watches over him.
May Allah guide us and you and all Muslims to understand His religion and remain steadfast upon it, and protect everyone from the misleading trials. Indeed, He is the All-Hearing, the Responsive.
And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
