The Ruling on the Principle of Leniency for Children in Islamic Legal Rulings

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is this principle a valid legal principle, namely that leniency is shown to children in legal rulings where it is not shown to adults? For example, is it permissible for children to have toys that contain images, and is it permissible for children to let their garments hang below the ankles? Is this a valid legal principle? This principle is for whoever established it; it is not for the scholars, nor for the people. This principle

Answer:
is not valid. What is forbidden for adults is forbidden for children. Is it permissible for you to dress a male child in a gold ring? It is forbidden for an adult to wear a gold ring, and likewise it is forbidden for a child. Silk is forbidden for adult males and it is forbidden for children. However, the child is not the one being addressed; you are the one being addressed. You are the guardian, and the guardian is the one who dresses him in what is forbidden. The guardian is the one being addressed, and he is the one who eats. Otherwise, the prohibition is the same, and the depiction of images is the same; it is forbidden for adults and for children. And praise be to Allah, there are many toys other than those with images. There are many toys without images, and you raise your children on what is not appropriate. Yes.
