The fundamental ruling concerning the depiction of living beings is prohibition. However, a picture is not prohibited if it is effaced, or headless, or if its parts are separated, or if a part essential for life has been removed. The same applies to an unclear picture whose features cannot be distinguished. As for pictures of imaginary things that have no counterpart in reality, they remain subject to the original prohibition.
