The ruling on praying in a room containing children's toys in the form of living beings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on praying in a room that contains dolls and other three-dimensional children's toys in the form of living beings?

Answer:
There is no harm in that. Praying in a room that contains toys is not a problem, provided they do not distract him. If they are not in front of him, distracting him and disturbing his concentration, then there is no harm. However, it is better to give young children other toys that are not images. There are significant hadiths indicating the obligation to obliterate and destroy images. Therefore, the safest course for the believing man and woman is to provide young children with other toys. But there is no harm for him in praying in a room that contains toys which do not disturb the one praying. Yes.
