Question: Some women have strollers which they place their child in and push when they go out in the street. Is this from imitating the disbelievers?
Answer: “No this is not imitating the disbelievers. This is carrying a child. She can carry her child if she wants on her shoulder or if she wants in a stroller or something like this. This is something shared [between the people] not specific to the disbelievers. Should we leave off the cars and say they are specific to the disbelievers? And leave off these strollers and say they are specific to the disbelievers; imitating the disbelievers? No, this is shared [between the people] for the benefit of the humans. It is a shared benefit. Yes”
