FOR most of us, growing up with a favourite teddy bear or doll is seen as something normal and part and parcel of being a baby or toddler.

However, recently, popular preacher Ustaz Azhar Idrus has warned that sleeping with such toys is considered haram (forbidden).

According to Kosmo, he reminded parents and guardians not to allow their children to sleep with toys or dolls, such as teddy bears.

“These days, many young girls sleep with such toys, and this is forbidden and not permissible. These toys are only for children to play with,” he said in a video of a recent lecture session.

“Why do even our young women, aged 18 to 20, sleep with teddy bears or dolls on their heads? It is because they see celebrities doing it. Fathers, when you look into your daughter’s room, if there are such toys, it is considered forbidden,” he added.

He also said that angels would not visit homes with such toys.

He said these toys were only allowed for children who have not reached puberty.

“Only young children are allowed to play with these toys. Also, hanging toy figures in cars, such as monkey or spider figures, are not allowed. Only place them on the seat for young children to play with so they do not disturb us while driving,” he added. – The Vibes, January 9, 2024
