The Ruling on Children's Toys
Regarding the children's toy called the doll, we heard that you issued a ruling permitting it?
Yes, indeed, I do not take a strict stance on children's toys,First: because the hadith of A'ishah (that she used to play with dolls) is authentic and established in al-Bukhari and others, during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We do not know that the craft had reached the level known today.
So we say: As long as the meaning for which playing with dolls was permitted for girls still exists today, even in these images, and therefore you find that if a boy has a daughter from these images, he takes care of her completely, dressing her in clothes and washing her,And he places it in front of the air conditioner and says to it: saying "Oh my sweet one" and "Oh my darling" and the like, so the wisdom behind it is for the girl to get accustomed to raising her children, so as long as this cause exists,But despite that, we do not recommend this thing and we say: it is possible to bring this image and cut off its face with a knife and make it something else, so that it is like a girl wearing a single garment.
