Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it haraam to throw away my sisters dolls with faces even if I know they will get angry and so will my mother.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was narrated by `Aisha (ra): \u201cI used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet (saw), and my female friends also used to play with me. When Allah’s Messenger (saw) used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but he (saw) would call them to join and play with me.\u201d (Bukhari) [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It would be impermissible for you to dispose of the belongings of another without their permission, regardless of your intentions. Rather, it would be better for you to discuss the issue in a kind and gentle manner with your sister, giving her time to reflect and come to a decision herself. Forcibly doing what you wish with another person\u2019s property is neither productive nor conducive to your relationship as siblings, since, as you said, disposing of your sister\u2019s toys would certainly upset her.[2]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In regards to dolls themselves, as seen in the narration above, \u2018Aisha (ra) used to play with dolls before reaching puberty and the Prophet (saw) did not stop her from doing so. However, it has also been deduced by scholars that the toys of the time would most likely not have had the distinctive features of living creatures we see in many toys today and therefore these types of toys with distinctive features would not be allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Narrated by \u2018Aisha (ra): \u201cWhen the Messenger of Allah (saw) arrived after the expedition to Tabuk or Khaybar (the narrator is doubtful), the draught raised an end of a curtain which was hung in front of her store-room, revealing some dolls which belonged to her. He asked: What is this? She replied: My dolls. Among them he saw a horse with wings made of rags, and asked: What is this I see among them? She replied: A horse. He asked: What is this that it has on it? She replied: Two wings. He asked: A horse with two wings? She replied: Have you not heard that Sulayman had horses with wings? She said: Thereupon the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) laughed so heartily that I could see his molar teeth.\u201d (Sunan Abu Dawood) [3]<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, as disposing of the dolls is not your right and would cause upset, rather than disposing of them completely, compromising and kindly suggesting to carefully remove any distinctive features from the dolls to the extent that is acceptable for your sister would be better.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
