Musical Instruments for Children

Question
My daughter is (13) years old and wants to buy a guitar 'musical instrument' toy to play with, is it permissible?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is forbidden to buy musical instruments and play them, except for the duff in marriage; because it distracts from the remembrance of God, and your daughter is of age and responsible, and God knows best.
