The permissibility of giving children toys in the form of birds, cats, and the like, provided they do not cause harm
Your Eminence! Is it permissible for children to play with birds and animals, based on the hadith of Abu 'Amir?
Yes.
It is permissible to give a child a bird or something similar to play with, or a cat—Meaning: a cat—but on the condition that it does not harm him. If it harms him, he must not be allowed to have it. Yes.
The questioner: It might die in his hand.
The Shaykh: It might die, but if you see him tormenting this animal, prevent him from doing so.
