The Ruling on Buying Dolls (Images) for Girls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on buying a doll for girls, specifically the ones found in this era, just for play? And if I buy one, will the angels not enter my house?

Answer:
Images are not to be bought, sold, or used. It is obligatory to destroy them and burn them, for adults and for children. Do not raise your children on images and leniency regarding images. Do not bring them into your house. The hadith is general
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.لا تدخل الملائكة بيتا فيه كلب ولا صورة
Sunan Ibn Majah 3649Sahih (Darussalam)
. It is general regarding all images. So it is not permissible to keep your house free of images.
