Ruling on drawing the body of a human being with the face obscured
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some photographers draw the body of a human being and obscure the face?
Answer:
No, the head must be cut off; if it is without a head, the head is removed entirely.
Q: But the criterion is not what is drawn..?
The Shaykh: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the head to be cut off.
Q: Even children?
The Shaykh: Even children; they should not be dressed in clothes that have images on them.
