The Shaykh:
And what is the question about it?
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on this?
The Shaykh:
If these toys do not contain anything forbidden, do not contain images of living beings, and children need them for their entertainment, there is no objection. But if they contain images of living beings, it is not permissible to sell or buy them.
