What is the Shafi’i ruling on a child having dolls and stuffed animals? .
Answer:
Children’s toys are not considered idols and it is not forbidden to buy and acquire them, and this applies to both boys and girls, as the erudite scholar al-Bujayrami stated in his supercommentary on the Iqna` [of al-Khatib al-Shirbini].
