Question:
The questioner (Maryam M.) says in her second question: What is the ruling on drawing the human digestive and respiratory systems? We are required to draw them in our biology class, so please inform us, O Shaykh.
Answer:
If it is drawing a picture.
The presenter: A picture, yes, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh: If it is a complete picture, it is not permissible. If it is a drawing of the abdomen, or a drawing of the intestines, there is nothing wrong with it. However, a complete picture including the head and face is not permissible.
The presenter: You mean the intestines, the abdomen, and the kidneys.
The Shaykh: ... The intestines alone are fine, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
