Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We often see the trading, buying, selling, and earning from computer devices, especially those for children and similar items, as well as the tapes related to them. What is the ruling on trading in these, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
Toys that do not contain anything forbidden are permissible to sell. This is because people need such things to train their children and keep them occupied, away from harm and the idleness that may affect them. These toys, which contain no forbidden elements and serve a valid purpose for children by keeping them occupied away from what is harmful to them, are permissible to sell. As for toys that contain something forbidden, such as musical instruments, three-dimensional images, or images drawn on paper or otherwise, images of all types are not permissible to be made into toys for children or sold to them. This is the correct position. This is the correct position. And what has been reported regarding the dispensation in children's toys involving images was only in the beginning. Then that was abrogated by the prohibition of using images thereafter and the warning against image-making. Yes.
