It is not permissible to keep or give to children such dolls that are made with the features of animate objects or that have complete human features. Children should be given other toys like cars and blocks, etc. If the doll has no face or facial features, then it would be permissible. If it has a face or facial features, then it will be necessary to remove them. If it cannot be done immediately, then, as a temporary measure (with the view of removing the face as soon as possible), a sock or bandage can be used to cover the face of the doll in such a way that no features show. If the features show through the covering then the covering will serve no purpose.

The reason for this prohibition is that Ras\u00fbllullah (Sallahu alaihi wasallam) has explicitly prohibited us in many Ah\u00e2d\u00eeth from making life-like statues and drawing pictures of animate objects:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00c2isha (radhiall\u00e2hu ‘anha) reported that Ras\u00fbllullah (Sallahu alaihi wasallam) entered my apartment and I had hung (on the door of my apartment) a thin curtain having pictures on it. The colour of his face changed. He then took hold of the curtain and tore it and then said: \u201cThe most grievous torment for the people on the Day of Resurrection would be for those who try to imitate Allah Ta’\u00e2la in the act of creation.\u201d {<\/strong>Sah\u00eeh Muslim <\/em>vol.2 p.200<\/em>}<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In another Had\u00eeth, \u00c2isha (radhiall\u00e2hu ‘anha) reported that she bought a carpet which had pictures on it. When Ras\u00fbllullah (Sallahu alaihi wasallam) saw it, he stayed at the door and did not enter. \u00c2isha (radhiall\u00e2hu ‘anha) says: \u201cI perceived or I was made to perceive signs of disgust on his face. Then I said: O Ras\u00fbllullah (Sallahu alaihi wasallam), I offer repentance to Allah Ta’\u00e2la and his Ras\u00fbl, (but tell me) what is the sin that I have committed.\u201d Thereupon Ras\u00fbllullah (Sallahu alaihi wasallam) said: \u201cWhat is this carpet?\u201d She said: \u201cI bought it for you so that you might sit on it and take rest on it.\u201d Thereupon Ras\u00fbllullah (Sallahu alaihi wasallam): \u201cThe owners of these pictures would be tormented and they would be asked to bring to life what they tried to create.\u201d He (Sallahu alaihi wasallam) then said: \u201cAngels do not enter the house in which there is a picture of an animate object.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 {<\/strong>Sah\u00eeh Muslim <\/em>vol.2 p.201<\/em>} <\/em>\u00a0Abu Talha (radhiall\u00e2hu ‘anhu) reported that he heard Allah’s Messenger (Sallahu alaihi wasallam) saying: “Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).” {<\/strong>Sah\u00eeh Muslim <\/em>vol.2 p.201<\/em>}<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So, to save ourselves from this severe punishment, we should abstain from buying and giving our children dolls or any toys that have complete human features or the features of animate objects (animal-like) or that have pictures and designs with these features.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Allah Ta\u2019\u0101la Knows Best<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
