The image from which what is necessary for life to remain has been removed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some jurists analogized: The image that is commanded to be defaced is the image that, if seen in its complete form,It is said: a person can live in this state, but if a part of it is missing such that he cannot live?

That is, they said: If what is necessary for life to remain is removed from the image, it is permissible, according to the scholars of jurisprudence (may Allah have mercy on them),That they say: If what is necessary for life to remain is removed from the image, it is permissible. They cite as evidence for this the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the image-makers: it will be said to them: (Bring to life what you have created) and his saying: (He was commanded to breathe the soul into it, but he is not one who can breathe it in) and the soul and life do not reside in half of the body, for example,Therefore, they said (may Allah have mercy on them): If what is necessary for life to remain is removed from the image, it becomes lawful. So if the image is cut in half, for example, or if its head is cut off entirely, it is lawful.
