Blurring the face in an image: Is that sufficient, or is it necessary to blur the entire image?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. Is blurring the face in an image sufficient, or is it necessary to blur the face?
The Shaykh : If the face in the image is blurred, the objective has been achieved, because an image in reality does not exist without a face, and the face is the head. So if it is blurred, there is no harm.
The questioner : And is there a difference between a camera and hand-drawing?
The Shaykh : No, there is no difference; all of it is removed by drawing the image.
