Accepted Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

There is no harm for a Muslim to make a scarecrow to frighten birds and drive away harm from the farm, as the purpose is to obtain a benefit. Some of the people of knowledge said it is permissible to use some pictures to obtain a benefit.

Al-Dassuqi said: 'There is an exception to what is forbidden, which is to make a doll for small girls to play with, this is permissible, and it is permissible to sell or buy dolls to teach the girls how to educate children.'

Allah knows best.
