The ruling on drawing a complete image of a human being, or one without a head
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to draw an image of a human being and then draw a line across the neck? This line disfigures it, making it like a totem. So it is not permissible to draw the complete image that includes the head and face.
Answer:
As for an image without a head, it is not considered complete, like a tree that has been defaced. If the head is defaced or removed, it becomes like a tree. But if the head and face remain, then it is invalid. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
