Answer

Probably, a child may be given an example of a toy activated a battery within the toy. We are certain this example too may pose many questions.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
