Summary
Taking part in 3D archery with animal replica targets is permitted because the replicas are not worshipped, glorified, honoured or revered. Using them as targets falls outside the Islamic prohibition on making or using statues. The fatwa adds that statues used for worldly purposes must be handled with care so as not to lead to shirk. Since some jurists prohibit animal and human statues absolutely, avoiding them where possible is considered more virtuous.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan fatwa negeri Perlis di atas, penggunaan sasaran berbentuk replika haiwan dalam sukan memanah 3D adalah dibenarkan kerana penggunaannya tidak mengandungi unsur pemujaan, pengagungan, penghormatan atau pemuliaan terhadap replika tersebut.
