Purchasing clothing and statues containing images of living beings with their faces erased

Question:
The second question says: What is the ruling on purchasing clothing or ornaments that contain images of animals, but their faces are erased?

Answer:
There is no doubt that images are forbidden, and their prohibition becomes stricter if they are statues, for their prohibition is more severe. However, if their faces are erased, as the questioner mentioned, they have no ruling, because they become like a tree and fall under the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) . The erasure is on the face; if it is erased such that the features of the face do not appear, then there is no harm in leaving them. Yes.
