The Ruling on Three-Dimensional Children's Toys

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy. My question is about the ruling on three-dimensional children's toys and three-dimensional animals, and whether the hadith
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)
applies to them?

Answer:
Yes, yes, it applies to them, because these are statues, and statues are the most severe form of image-making. They are not permissible, neither for children nor for anyone else. We do not raise our children to make images; we do not raise them to make images and accustom them to making images. They cite the play of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) as evidence. The play of 'Aishah was not of this type. The play of 'Aishah was only rags and sticks that they made, and they did not have the features of the face and hands as in the images made today. So this is different; it is greatly different. The images of today are complete images, to the extent that they put electricity and tape in them, and they talk and move, and they are as if they are real. Because of the severity of the deception upon people, is it not permissible? And it falls under the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
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)
. And we do not raise our children to these images and these. Yes.
