The answer

It is permissible to sell and use incomplete images (where the head is separated from the body) unless there is an external impediment, based on the saying of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them: "If the head is cut off, then there is no image." However, if the image is complete or magnified, it is not permissible to use or sell it.
