Do the presence of toys in the shape of animals or humans prevent the entry of angels and invalidate prayer in the same room? Are musical toys forbidden? Should these toys not be acquired or should they be prohibited at a certain age? And how can a child be made to understand their prohibition?

It is permissible to acquire children's toys that are in the shape of living beings, because it is divinely permitted and does not prevent the entry of angels. However, it is not permissible to acquire musical toys unless the musical part of them is destroyed, lest the child grow up listening to what is unlawful.
