The answer

The action of a young man who imitates the voice of a small child to entice weak-minded individuals into giving him money is a despicable act and forbidden by Islamic law. It combines several prohibitions, including deceiving a Muslim and cunningly exploiting them, which leads its perpetrator to Hellfire. Moreover, it is a wrongful consumption of people's wealth, which is forbidden by Islamic law. Whoever acquires money through such means is not permitted to benefit from it; rather, they must dispose of it by giving it as charity for good causes.
