Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to buy what is called dolls and mannequins? And if he buys them, is it obligatory for him to obliterate their faces?
Answer:
Why would he buy them? It is a child who wants to play with them; he does not buy them unless he has a child to amuse himself with them. Otherwise, why would he buy them? Yes.
