The Ruling on Drawing the Human Face and Cartoon Characters
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener, Wijdan, asks: Is it permissible to draw only the real human face, just the face without the body?
The Shaykh:
No, it is the image of the face; as for the rest of the body, it is not known who it is, and the complete human form is not displayed. Yes.
The questioner:
And also drawing cartoon movie characters.
The Shaykh:
Whatever displays human faces is not permissible, whether in cartoons or otherwise. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
