Toys with bells
Question
Is it permissible to give babies toys e.g. soccer ball with small bells inside that jingle when moved around?
Answer
If it has got a ringing sound like the ringing of a bell then this must be avoided.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
