Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on making toys in the shape of animals for children? And is there evidence in the story of 'A'ishah making a horse with wings that permits this?
Answer:
It is not permissible to teach children about images, or to raise them with images. There are many toys, and praise be to Allah, that are not images, not like this. What 'A'ishah had was not in the form that exists now. What 'A'ishah had was sticks and rags wrapped around each other. But now, the image depicts the animal or the human, laughing, talking, and walking. This is not permissible. Yes.
