The Ruling on Making Three-Dimensional Figures and Children's Toys

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to make images and three-dimensional figures that are toys for children?

Answer:
No, children are not raised to possess what is forbidden; children are raised on religion and on pens, not on what is forbidden. Images are forbidden in general, for both adults and children, and he who makes them and depicts them is cursed. There is no distinction made between one who makes them for children and one who does not make them for children. As for the toys that 'Aishah used to play with, they were not images of cloth; they were simply pieces of cloth. Until recently, they were called toys in the villages. One would take sticks and wrap them in cloth and say, "This is a toy." These are toys; they are not images, just sticks and cloth wrapped around each other, and they do not have the meaning of a doll. Yes.
