The second question of Fatwa number ( 17548 )
Q 2: There are some three-dimensional figurines in the shape of people. Should we erase the face — alter its features in the case of bodies — or cut off the heads of those bodies?
A 2: It is obligatory to erase three-dimensional images and others by removing their heads or destroying them; because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Riyad as-Salihin 1687 And because he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 2106e , and because he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the head of the statue to be cut off until it was in the shape of a tree. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
