No, there are many scholars that say it is permissible to have toys that help educate children. The children of the sahabah had dolls and toys they played with.
There is also hadith from Bukhari and Muslim:
On the authority of Aisha (ra), that she said:
“The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) saw amongst them (dolls) a horse with two wings from scraps of cloth. He (pbuh) said: What is this which I see amongst them (dolls)? She said: A horse. He asked: What is upon it? She said: Two wings. He (pbuh) asked (in astonishment): A horse with two wings? She said: Didn't you hear that Sulaiman (Solomon - AS) had horses with wings? She said: Then he (pbuh) laughed until I saw his molar teeth. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Nasai)
`Aishah said: “I used to play with dolls in front of the Prophet (pbuh) with my friends …” (Bukharî; Muslim) as these are a means for education and constructive play and are free from the danger of being venerated.
We raised money through various sources such as crowdfunding to help reduce the cost of the bear. Whoever buys a bear will be covering the cost of production and the rest going towards our OrphanKind and where most needed programmes. We want every penny we raise to help our orphans. Our dream is that it benefits children who buy the bear and orphaned children too.
All our profits go towards our where most needed and OrphanKind programmes.
Unfortunately not. We decided not to offer discounts on the bears as 100% of the profit from Penny the Prayer Bear goes towards our where most needed and OrphanKind programmes.
Yes you can. We think this is the perfect Eid gift for young Muslim Children.
All the actions for Salah have been simplified. We have also qualified this with a scholar, so it has been approved. The actions will cover the basic principles of salah as it is for children. If you had to pick a mathab it is closest to, then I would say Hanafi.
But also because it is a bendable bear – you can educate your child in the manner you wish, and bend the bear accordingly. So you don’t need to use or follow the book directly if you didn’t want to.
We wanted this bear to appeal to as many children as possible and help educate them in salah.
Our bears are limited and are selling fast for Eid. Once we’ve sold out it will be a while before we can get more in.
