The Ruling on Children's Toys in the Shape of Statues
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on acquiring children's toys in the shape of a statue, such as a horse, a donkey, a bird, or something else?
We are somewhat lenient regarding the toys that boys play with; because Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) had girls' toys that she played with, and what is forgiven for children is not forgiven for adults. However, the best in this case is to buy them a toy from the types that have recently started to be produced, which are toys made of cotton or sponge in the shape of a human, a horse, or a camel, but they are not distinct,Meaning: having no protruding nose, no lips, and none of the other protruding features. The boy can amuse himself with them, and that is better and more cautious.
