Why were images made permissible for children, despite the condition that the photographer must be a free, adult, accountable individual, and does the reason for imitation not apply to him, thereby making it permissible for him to create images for children's toys?

The majority of scholars permitted the manufacturing of children's toys and exempted them from the general prohibition against creating images (tasweer), relying on the hadith (definition) of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, where she used to play with dolls in the presence of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Malikis, Shafi'is, and Hanbalis justified this exception by the need to train girls in raising children. Al-Halimi mentioned other immediate and long-term benefits, including companionship, the growth of children, and learning how to care for infants. Some scholars believe that the warning against imitating Allah's creation applies to those who intend imitation, not to every instance of image-making.
