Allah and His Messenger have forbidden squandering wealth. A person will be questioned on the Day of Judgment about their wealth: how they acquired it and how they spent it. A Muslim should thank their Lord for the blessing of wealth and spend it on good deeds and helping their Muslim brothers and sisters. Sheikh Ibn Baz issued a stating that acquiring stuffed birds and animals constitutes squandering wealth, extravagance, and waste, and is a means of depicting living beings. Therefore, it is not permissible to sell or acquire them.
