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?

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 Sharia 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.
