What is the ruling on placing embalmed exhibits in the school's prayer room, given that prayers are suspended therein for the purpose of holding an exhibition?

Embalming animals is prohibited because it is a frivolous waste of money, and it may lead to hanging pictures and becoming attached to them, with the belief that they ward off evil, and they may be impure. However, embalmed animals are not pictures in the forbidden sense. The presence of embalmed animals in a prayer area does not invalidate the prayer, but they should be removed if they are in front of the worshipers to avoid distracting them, or if they are impure. The school's prayer room does not take the ruling of a mosque, but it should be honored and maintained.
