Q:
1. Can we make decorations out of scrap which will turn out to like a living thing? e.g. making a fish looking hanging decoration from disposable plates?
2. There are some movies based on the real islamic history, seerah or life story of a nabi or a sahaabi. Can we show them to kids?
A:
1. It should be without the head.
2. This is extremely derogatory. Make taubah and refrain from all these types of movies altogether. Islamic history is not to be taken as entertainment and a pastime. You rather learn this through reliable books and learn what you need to with respect.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
