Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman asks: What is the ruling on dolls for children, and are they permissible?
Answer:
If the images of the dolls are in the form of human figures, meaning they are not permissible due to the general prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding images, then if the faces are erased, so they have no faces and no visible facial features, there is nothing wrong with that because they are erased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not leave an image except that you erase it," and these have their faces erased, so there is nothing wrong with them.
