Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a person to draw a picture of a face, but without eyes?

Why would he draw a picture of a face? The picture is the face, so it is not permissible to draw the face. Yes.

Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

If he draws a picture of a blind person, is that permissible? One with two eyes? It is not permissible. Yes.
