Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: You have spoken, may Allah reward you with good, about creation and image-making. So what is the ruling on cartoon films that are claimed to be entertainment for children?
Answer:
All image-making is the same, whether it is cartoon films or otherwise; it is image-making. It is accurate to describe it as image-making. In fact, it is the most severe type of image because it moves, speaks, and laughs. It is more severe than a silent image or a drawing that is static and has no movement. It is more severe. We do not raise our children to sin through image-making. We do not raise them to this. This is what the disbelievers want from us. They want us to raise our children to disobey the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
