The Ruling on Images in Education and Newly Arising Necessities
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The image on the identity card is hoped for...?
Answer:
If it is for a necessity, then Allah said: [Al-An'am: 119] What concerns academic certification, or nationality, and the fact that they do not grant nationality except with an image, or a certificate except with an image, falls under the category of necessities.
Q: Some dictionaries contain images?
A: If it is applied and not opened, we hope it will be easy, but having it opened or its images hung on the walls is what is forbidden, whereas having it closed until the need for it arises and it is consulted, the matter is easy, if Allah wills, and if the head is cut off, it is safer and more cautious.
Q: Regarding the art teacher: If he draws for the students on the blackboard and explains to them that this is an image of such and such, and then erases it, does he sin?
A: The head is not permissible, he should not draw anything with a head for them, but without a head there is no harm, but drawing a complete image for them, like drawing it on paper, is not allowed.
Q: He explains it to the students and then removes it?
A: No, he explains it to them by inference, it is not an image, the words are sufficient, and that is what sufficed the predecessors.
Q: Is it obligatory to remove what exceeds the solar image; because it is known that when they are photographed, they photograph seven images together, and the need may be for two or three?
A: You keep what is necessary, and the rest is destroyed.

Answer:
If it is for a necessity, then Allah said:
while He has explained in detail to you what He has forbidden you, excepting that to which you are compelled
