Ruling on Buying Three-Dimensional Children's Toys

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. What is the ruling on some statues that are in the form of children's toys, some of which are made of plastic, copper, or wood, and some of which are in the form of a doll, a bird, or an animal,

Answer:
or the like? Complete statues that have the full image with its head, limbs, and face are not permissible; because they are forbidden images and forbidden statues. However, if these statues do not have heads, or if their faces are obliterated, there is no harm in that; because the image, the complete image in the face, has been removed from them. If the face is obliterated or the head is cut off, then this image is considered obliterated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(ﷺ) sent me: Do not leave any graveصلى الله عليه وسلم لا تدع صورة إلا طمستها،
Musnad Ahmad 1239Sahih because of corroborating evidence; this is a Da'if isnad] (Darussalam)
Obliterating the image is done by removing its head, or by obliterating its face so that its face does not appear with its features and shape. If it is obliterated, then that removes the prohibition from the image.
