What is the ruling on placing a skeleton image on a video clip of Qur’anic verses?
A picture of a skeleton is not among the forbidden pictures, and there is no harm in displaying permissible and appropriate images that convey the meaning of Quranic verses, whether the verses are written or recited. This is for the purpose of interpreting and clarifying the meaning and making it closer to understanding. Evidence for this is what the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did when he drew lines to illustrate the meaning of the verse, "And [He further commanded], 'This is My straight path, so follow it and do not follow the [other] ways.'" Despite its permissibility, some contemporary scholars have completely prohibited this practice.
