Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, peace be upon you. Raise your voice. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be upon you.
The questioner : The most correct question in my view, O Shaykh, is the ruling on using three-dimensional toys that were made for the children?
The Shaykh : By Allah, there are three-dimensional toys now appearing in the markets that are not plastic; there is no harm in these.
The questioner : Three-dimensional.
The Shaykh : They are three-dimensional, but they are not like the plastic ones that look like a human image.
The questioner : Okay, is it permissible to use the ones I wrote about?
The Shaykh : Raise your voice, please.
The questioner : Intelligence, so they are...
The Shaykh : In any case, with the boys, you know what they want to do; the older ones want to mock them, in any case. But I say that the more you avoid the plastic images, the better it is.
The questioner : Okay, if he uses them, does it affect the person or not?
The Shaykh : It does not affect him, if Allah wills. It does not affect him. But the best is either to cover their faces, or to buy from the other toys.
The Shaykh : Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be upon you.
