Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
If the birds and other living beings made by artisans are three-dimensional and have a shadow, then their manufacture, sale, purchase, and possession are unanimously forbidden, unless they are headless or their features are effaced. It is not permissible for a Muslim to use what is Islamically forbidden to spread Islam.
