What is the ruling on drawing animate beings, especially the head without the body, for the purpose of raising awareness about the efforts of medical staff and the suffering of patients?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the head in a drawing is indistinct or without eyes or a nose, it does not fall under the category of forbidden images. The same applies if the drawing is incomplete in a way that life cannot be imagined with it, such as an image without a chest or abdomen.
