What is the ruling on clothing featuring animated images of living beings for children?

Question:
He asks: What is the ruling on wearing, or clothing that contains, animated images of living beings for children?

Answer:
It is not permissible to wear clothing that contains images, and if they are animated, the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) is even greater. It is not permissible to use images in clothing, hang them on walls, or keep them in boxes for memories. One must destroy the images and get rid of them, except for what is required by dire necessity. Images needed for a passport, an ID card, or a driver's license are kept for the sake of dire necessity. However, keeping images for any other purpose is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, saying: "Do not leave any image except that you obliterate it." Clothing with images is even more severe because it involves carrying the image and giving it reverence.
