Ruling on the depiction of living beings for the purpose of education

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some teachers in science classes order the students to depict living beings, such as chickens and camels.

Answer:
No, depicting living beings is not permissible, neither for children nor for adults. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the image-makers and threatened them with the Fire, and informed that they will be the most severely punished of people on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, depicting living beings is not permissible, whether by students or by anyone else.
