The Ruling on Buying Dolls Made from Images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Umm Muram, says: Regarding dolls and buying them for boys and young girls, what is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
It is not permissible to buy images or to allow children to play with them, because they are three-dimensional images. In fact, they are more severe than three-dimensional images, because they laugh and move with movements that resemble living bodies. Therefore, it is not permissible to raise children with them. Rather, they should be given toys that are not in the shape of images, such as animals or flags.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
