The ruling on drawing skulls?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Their other question is about the ruling on drawing skulls?

The Shaykh:
Drawing a face is not permissible; because the image is the face, so if it has the known features of the face, such as the eyes, mouth, and nose, then this is not permissible; because this is the image that is prohibited. However, if it is just a drawing without the features of the face, and it is blurred; then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.

The questioner:
It seems to me that the question is about the skull, meaning the bone of the head, i.e., the bone of the beard.

The Shaykh:
Or the face, or whatever in which the image of a person is discernible, then it is not permissible. As for what is blurred and in which the features of a person are not discernible, then there is nothing wrong with it, such as drawing a tree, a wall, and the like. Yes.
