Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith 151 – Volume 8, Book 73

English

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play
with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but
the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images
is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, not yet reached the age
of puberty.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
