What is the ruling on hanging dolls in children's rooms?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In that case, O our Shaykh, a housewife wants to hang her children's toys in their room, in their bedroom, on the side of the wall, with the intention of organizing them and making it easy for the child to choose from them so that he can play with them and satisfy his desire, and then return them to their place. Is that permissible, knowing that these toys are made at home?
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, that is an ornate way of speaking.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And beautiful.
The questioner : And organized.
The Shaykh : And who is the one who returns them to their place?
The questioner : The children return them, or the mother herself, the mother.
The Shaykh : This one, or is it not in its place, so you remove it or we establish it?
The questioner : What do you mean by "remove" the question?
The Shaykh : Or, or, your answer was to my question: who returns them to their place?
The questioner : Who returns them? If the place is far, meaning the mother, the housewife, she is their mother, returns them.
The Shaykh : Now you have added a condition, this condition was not present a moment ago.
The questioner : Yes, it is.
The Shaykh : If the place is high.
The questioner : Ah, this is new, you are right.
The Shaykh : New, do you see how it is?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Who is the one who returns them to their place?
The questioner : The mother herself returns them.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is an incomplete answer. I had presented the mother before; who is the other actor?
The questioner : Perhaps I presented the child, meaning he is.
The Shaykh : Not "perhaps," definitely.
The questioner : Certainly, yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, why are you changing your question? This is the talk of politicians, here Mahmoud.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Stick to the question, do not change it.
The questioner : Yes, yes, you are right.
The Shaykh : The important thing is that this hanging is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible.
The Shaykh : Yes, and without a doubt, these toys are among the toys that come from the lands of disbelief and the lands of the Franks. These are the toys that mothers who are afflicted with such things like to adorn their cabinets with. However, if they were permissible toys, meaning toys from the home, made by the mother or the older sister or the aunt or the maternal aunt, depending on the family, they do not adorn the cabinets with them, correct?
The questioner : Correct, meaning so likewise, she does not adorn them.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Well, if she hung them so that the children can reach them, is that still not allowed?
The Shaykh : If they are home-made toys, perhaps you understood the answer. She hung them, she put them on the ground, the important thing is that they are within the children's reach.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And for the girls, not for the boys.
The questioner : Yes, this is for the girls only.
The Shaykh : Yes, it was.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, that is an ornate way of speaking.
