Writing an essay about the Sahaabah as a captives of Badr
Q: I am in an Islamic institution and students were given a task to write an essay in the first point of view of a captive of Badr and the Sahaabahs treatment to them and the captives feelings and thoughts regarding the Sahaabah. Students were given creative freedom and encouraged to use their imagination, as accuracy was not the main focus of the task. However, a few concerns were brought to attention.
Students were concerned that as they had to write in the point of view of a Kaafir, they would have to write unpleasant things about the Sahaabah and Islam. Another point of contention was that since it was purely fictional, they could make up stories about the Sahaabah and their treatment towards the captives, as well as the inaccurate living situations of the captives. Is this task permissible?
