What
is the ruling on nurturing children upon Cartoons
of which the goal is to benefit them and teach them good manners?
Allaah
made pictures Haraam, and it is Haraam
to acquire them so how can we nurture our children upon them?? How can we
nurture them upon something that is Haraam, upon pictures that are Haraam
and drawings that move and speak and are similar to human beings? This is an
evil picture and it is unlawful to nurture children upon it.
This
is what the Kuffar want. They want us to oppose what the Messenger of Allaah صلى
الله عليه و سلم prohibited us
from. And
the Messenger صلى الله عليه و سلم prohibited
us from pictures, and using them, and acquiring them. And those who spread it
(cartoons) between the youth and the Muslims, claiming that it is from
nurturing (the children) then this is immoral
nurturing. And the correct nurturing is to teach them what will
benefit them in their religion and worldly affairs.
Q: What is the ruling on watching and buying Islaamic
animated-cartoon movies, given that these movies present purposeful and
beneficial stories for children which promote good character, dutifulness to
parents, honesty, offering Salah (Prayer) regularly and the like.
These
animated movies are intended as good substitutes for television which has
become widespread. However, the problem we face is related to the fact that
such movies present hand-drawn pictures of humans and animals. Is it
permissible to watch these animated cartoons? Please advise. May Allaah reward
you with the best!
A:
It is NOT permissible to buy, sell
or use cartoon movies, because they include Haraam pictures. Raising
children should be done in ways that are Islaamically acceptable with
regard to teaching, disciplining, encouraging them to offer Salah and taking
good care of them.
May
Allaah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad,
his family and Companions!
