What is the ruling on the the attached drawings, especially the last two drawings?
These drawings fall under the category of depicting animate beings, which is forbidden according to the majority of scholars, based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Those who make these images will be tormented on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them: 'Give life to what you have created.'" This prohibition includes drawing creatures that have no real-world equivalent, such as a horse with wings or a cow with a beak.
Some scholars have permitted what is deficient in creation to an extent that life is not possible with it, especially if the deficiency is in the head.
If there is a benefit, such as educating children, these drawings can be replaced by making the eyes in the form of circles, and the nose and mouth in the form of a line, so that there is no resemblance to Allah's creation.
