Should the digital design of animate beings, displayed as two-dimensional images, be treated as images or as three-dimensional objects, and what is the ruling concerning them, especially if they are intended for children's games?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Three-dimensional images are not statues because they do not cast a shadow. There is no harm in using images of animate beings in designing electronic games, as long as they are free from prohibitions. This is because many scholars have made an exception to the prohibition of imagery and statues for children, for the purpose of their education and entertainment.
