Chess
Al Salamu 3alaykom wa ra7mat Allah wabarakatuh ..
Who doesn't know Chess!!, it's a game that consists of some little pieces with different shapes, like King, Horse, Soldier etc etc. The question is, is it ok to play with it in Islam?!
It's prohibited to play chess, why ?! The peices that has the shape of horse is HARAM, it's not allowed to take pictures or make anything that looks like what Allah created from humans and animals, unless we are in need of doing it, such as taking photos for official cards, license, etc, or to announce about a dangerous thief that may cause a risk on people. As I said last post, Allah made everything easy
قال الله سبحانه: وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُمْ مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلا مَا اضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ
Angels don't enter a house that has any type of humans or animals pictures, even the toys which are made as babies, animals and the dolls are considered as what I mentioned it's prohibited.
قال الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام: كل مصور في النار
قال الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام: لا تدخل الملائكة بيتاً فيه صورة
There is another thing, playing may take very long time that may keep u busy and lose the time of praying and THEKR, we don't know where can Satan get a path from to keep us away from Allah.
قال الله سبحانه و تعالى: إنما يريد الشيطان أن يوقع بينكم العداوة والبغضاء في الخمر والميسر ويصدكم عن ذكر الله وعن الصلاة فهل انتم
منتهون
I might be not so clear in explaining the issue, but you can all go to http://binothaimeen.com site or http://binbaz.org.sa, search for it you will get more useful information of course, it's different to get knowledge from Sheikhs :)
Allah yer7am el amwaat men-hum o ye7fa'6 el a7yaa2

even if she is just a little kid, I can find a substitute, I know it's difficult to think about it, but As Allah Said Or Hadeeth I can't remember: �� ��� ����� ���, ���� ���� ������ ���

ya3nee mo 3an shay, you just shocked me with what you wrote.
to me, from what you said, it shows that you are lacking in the "child care" feild.
sorry bs im a little angry at what your saying. adry you mean well, bs your takin this the very wroong way.
awalan , its not easy to find a substitute for a doll ok, o thaneyaan its not 7aram to let girls play with dolls, its actually the exeption to the rule.
la2ena palying with dolls is the girls imitation of her actual role when she grows up, if you take that away, mako shay raa7 e3adelhaa.
the ruling by most scholars is this : ( taken from islam-qa.com)
Most of the scholars have exempted the making of girls’ toys from the prohibition on making images and statues. This is the view of the Maalikis, Shaafa’is and Hanbalis. Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad narrated that most of the scholars said that this is permissible, and he was followed in that by al-Nawawi in his commentary on Muslim. He said: “Exempted from the prohibition on making images that have a shadow are things that are used as toys for girls, because of the exemption that was narrated concerning that. This means that it is permissible, whether they are toys in the shape of people or animals, three-dimensional or otherwise, and whether they are supposed to represent real animals or not, such as a horse with wings…
The majority of scholars quote as evidence for this exemption the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) in which she says:
“I used to play with dolls in the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). I had friends who used to play with me. When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came in, they would hide themselves, then he would call them to join me and play with me.”
According to another report, she said that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came back from the battle of Tabook or Khaybar, and there was a curtain in her alcove. The wind blew and lifted the curtain, showing some dolls with which ‘Aa’ishah was playing. He said, “What is this, O ‘Aa’ishah?” She said, “My daughters.” Among them he saw a mare with wings made of leather.” He said, ‘And what is this that I see in the midst of them?” She said, “A mare.” He said, “What is this on it?” She said, “Wings.” He said, “A mare with wings?” She said, “Have you not heard that Sulaymaan had a horse with wings?” She said, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) smiled so broadly that I could see his eyeteeth.
The Maalikis, Shaafa’is and Hanbalis interpreted this as an exemption for making toys because of the necessity of educating girls in how to bring up children. This interpretation is obvious if the toy is in the form of a human, but it is not obvious if it is in the form of a horse with wings. Hence al-Haleemi used this report and others to support his argument. He said: “There are two benefits of that in the case of girls, one immediate and one which comes later. The immediate benefit is that they have fun, which is one of the most effective means of child development. If a child is well taken care of and feels happy and content, his development will be stronger and better. That is because joy energizes the mind, which in turn energizes the soul, and that has an effect on the body and produces physical strength. The benefit which is seen later on is that through that (play), the girls learn how to deal with children, love them and feel compassion for them, and that becomes second nature to them, so that when they grow up and see for themselves the things they used to play at, they will find that the compassion they used to play at is something very real indeed. Ibn Hajar quoted in al-Fath from someone who thought that making toys was haraam, and that it had been permitted at first but was then abrogated by the general prohibition on making images. He responded by noting that the abrogation could have been the other way round and that the permission to make toys came later, on the grounds that in the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) about her toys, there is the indication that this happened at a later date, because it mentions that this happened when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came back from Tabook. So the apparent meaning is that it happened later on. (al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah – Maaddat al-Tasweer)
i think that ruling tells alot, i hope it helps, its really cute about the horse and waht she said lool.
anyways thats what i know for sure about girls, 3ad boys, they dont play with people toys as much as boys, still i dont know whats the ruling, cus there are sooo many of them.
anyways this is the site on all the toys ruling
http://www.islam-qa.com/index.php?pg=rslt&txt=dolls&st=2&fld=5&pglist=0&ln=eng
id really appreciate it if you read it, la2ena hathool ishyoo5 and they know what they are talkin about, o i would hate that someday you have chidlren, and you'd deprive them of the sheer enjoyment of playing, and in the long run youd find out its not 7aram. o tara allah e3refoo bilra7maa, o allah mara7 e7aasbik 3ala ilyahel etha yabee yel3aab, int ma3a6aitaa alcohol or somethin.
ya3nee there are worse things in the world then not letting children play with toys, even the sheick see it that way
pleaser check it out. sorry if im on the defense side becuase this is my field of study and also kalamik 5ara3nee lool

salam 3alaikom wara7mto allah wabarakato
alsalam 3alaikom .. I am back ..
about the dolls, I asked and checked, it is ok for little girls but It's better to damage the eyes.
Some of MSheikhs said it's ok, because this kind of playing insultes those dolls.
Thanks comity for clearing something to me, actually i was concentrating on Chess and missed the point of dolls and lil girls..
What i knew that some Sheikhs said if you use pics and insulting them it's ok not as making frames and designing the rooms with them, which is not allowed. :)
"What i knew that some Sheikhs said if you use pics and insulting them it's ok not as making frames and designing the rooms with them, which is not allowed. :) "
what do you mean by insulting them?
"what do you mean by insulting them?"
Hmmmm, What I mean is the way of using it, you know when kids use the toys they throw it on the floor where everybody can step on it, so that's ok cuz the toy is being insulted, which is the opposite of using the toys and pictures for decorating the room and so ..
sorry but I am not that good in explaining things, especially religious issues cuz i read about them and listen lectures in Arabic lol .. :)
anyways, as I said it's preferred to damage their eyes, which makes it different that Allah's creation..
ooh ok..
Jazak ALlah khair for clearing things up brother..
Alhamdulillah I got your point..
sorry 6ala3tkoum 3an il main maw'6oo3 o da5altkoum fil doll issue
barak allah feek
im glad i helped, bs i still think there is no need for destroying the eyes, since all the mathhabs have a consensus on it if you nkow what i mean. i think youll udnerstand the important of an undestroyed doll, whe you get married and have girls, right now its different but once you get married lol, i think youll change your mind about the whole doll things.
by the way candle of hope i thank you for bring it up wallah, at least kilna estefadnaa, wentay et7a9leen il ajer ya rub :)
comity ..
Barak Allahu feekom, anyways just to let you know, i got the info from some Hanbali's Sheikhs, and I am more with this Math-hab . .:) ..
candle of hope ..
barak Allah feech, you helped us to look for more knowledge btw :)
salam 3alaikom barak allah feek brother :)
