Question
My family argues that it's impossible to find toys for toddlers which do not have pictures. Hence they buy toys for their children which have animate pictures on the basis of necessity. They then perform Salah in that house. It is my understanding that the angels do not enter such a house. It is also my understanding that though it is very difficult to find toys for children which do not have animate objects on them, it is not impossible. Would the purchasing of toys or books for children containing animate objects fall within the ambit of Shar'i necessity?
Answer
Only morons will understand this silly requirement to come within the scope of the principle of Necessity. If toys without pictures are not available, then toys should not be bought. It is haraam. Vermiculated brains see this as a necessity. Purchasing such toys/ books will never fall within the ambit of Shar'i Necessity.
