Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
What is narrated from stories and tales is by way of imitation or representation to convey a specific idea. This is permissible if it is for educational purposes, encouraging good and forbidding evil, and if ethical and -compliant controls are observed. Representation is not lying if it is for depicting a story or conveying an abstract idea in a tangible way, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did it. However, one should not be lenient in this such that representation becomes an end in itself or merely for the purpose of amusement and play.
