The ruling on writing fictional stories for children set on an island with animals that talk and behave like humans, for use in producing animated cartoons.

"Praise be to Allah.

There is no harm in writing fictional stories through the voice of animals if they are purposeful, enhancing values and morals, and free from prohibitions such as music. This is required to keep Muslim children away from inappropriate cartoon series. This is not considered lying because the audience understands that it is fiction. In the past, writers have created stories and poems through the voice of animals, such as \""Kalila and Dimna.\"" It is permissible to hear wonders and strange stories if they are intended to illustrate examples and lessons through the voices of humans or animals."
