What is the ruling on drawing living beings, such as drawing only half of the face, half of the body, or only the hands?

Question:
This questioner also asks about drawing living beings by hand. If the drawing is not complete, a person might draw half of the face, a part of the body, only the hands, or the feet, for example, or something like that. What is the ruling on that?

Answer:
Drawing a hand, a foot, or a part of the limbs does not carry the ruling of a complete image. However, it is not permissible because it leads to and serves as a means to the forbidden drawing. If a person is lax in drawing these limbs, it will lead him to reach the forbidden drawing. Therefore, a Muslim should not engage in such matters.
However, drawing a single limb other than the face does not take on the ruling of the image for which the one who drew it or possessed it was cursed, nor does it carry the sin attributed to the one who possessed it; the one who drew it was cursed and the one who possessed it was made sinful. But as we mentioned, one should not be lax in this because it leads to the forbidden drawing, and it is a form of idle play with no benefit. Yes. May Allah bless you.
