Ruling on a Child Watching Beneficial Video Films

The questioner : The honorable Shaykh! A man does not have a television in his house, and he has a son who is less than six years old. The boy’s mother insists on her husband buying a video player and a television so that this child can benefit from these tapes and be kept from playing in the street, even though the tapes are religious, and some of them, for example, teach the letters of the alphabet, but they contain moving animal images, and the owners of the elephant, and so on?The Shaykh: There is nothing wrong with it. I see that he should respond to his wife’s request for this, because it keeps the child from going here and there, or from going to the neighbors, and tapes containing good for him are placed for him. And the fact that the images are moving does not harm; because this movement is artistic movement as designed, so I do not see anything wrong with it.
