It is permissible to work in the manufacture and animation of dolls if they are children's toys, based on the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). However, listening to music and including it in toys, even for children, is forbidden. If the project involves music and it is inseparable from your fiancé's work, then it is not permissible to work in it, as it entails listening to what is forbidden and assisting in its spread, in addition to the aforementioned drawbacks such as compelling some to break their fast and the presence of intermingling (ikhtilat), and that the company is foreign and offers nothing beneficial. Prohibited work makes the salary prohibited. Therefore, it is advised not to work in it and to seek permissible work, and not to accept a marriage proposal from someone who works in a prohibited field.
