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 Messenger (ﷺ) 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.) (Fath-ul-Bari page 143, Vol.13)
