What is the ruling on dress-up games, drawing anime with the head separated, taking book solutions from the internet, watching cartoons without music for girls wearing sportswear, and wearing a niqab with the eyes covered?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

First: There is no objection to acquiring dolls and toys for young children for entertainment and education. However, dress-up games that display images of semi-naked girls and encourage forbidden relationships, and relationships between young men and women, are prohibited. This is because they are depictions of animate beings and contain great temptations and encourage indecency.

Second: Drawing cartoons of animate beings is forbidden unless the drawing is without a head, in which case it is permissible.

Third: There is no harm in obtaining solutions to textbook questions from the Internet or elsewhere for study purposes.

Fourth: It is permissible to watch animated cartoons provided they adhere to the regulations of Sharia.

Fifth: The niqab is permissible if the woman adheres to the conditions of wearing it.
