Question:
I have a gold bar engraved with a statue, but it is not complete; it is only engraved up to half of it. I am confused about wearing it, so please guide us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for this statue, part of which is on the jewelry, if what is present is the head and the face, then this is forbidden, because it is an image, for the image is the face. However, if this does not have a head, it is not considered an image. If the head is removed, it is not considered an image, but rather it is obliterated, and it is permissible to use it as it is. Yes.
