The question

What is the ruling on drawing unreal human figures (with a full body but no features, or a part of the body and a face with features), and on keeping their drawn or designed images, printing them, and using them as covers or in notebooks? And what should be done with old pictures drawn with a full body and features if one wishes to keep them?

The answer

It is forbidden to draw living beings, whether human or animal, and whether the drawing is manual or digital. This is considered a grave sin due to the severe warning associated with it. It is permissible to draw that which has no head or that which has lost organs essential for its survival. Previously drawn images must be destroyed by decapitating them, unless they are on a disregarded garment.
