The ruling on purchasing children's stories that contain images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a woman who buys storybooks that contain images of animals and birds. After reading them, I give them to the younger children. Is this permissible?
Answer:
There is no benefit for children in these stories, no benefit in the stories themselves, and also they are lax about these images and grow up with them. So do not buy these stories for them that have no benefit, but rather have harm in them. Buy them something beneficial to educate them, yes.
