What is the ruling on wearing a gold necklace with a butterfly figurine on it, and selling it to gold merchants, and what should be done with the photographs showing this necklace, and is it sufficient to obscure only the butterfly's head?

The basic ruling for animate figurines is prohibition. However, if the image is incomplete or its features are indistinct, some scholars have permitted it. Some scholars also permitted the sale of such a necklace if it can be utilized after modification. As for photographic images, they are permissible, and it is preferable to obscure the figurine of the necklace within them if it is something whose wearing is forbidden.
