What is meant by the phrase: "Likewise, the denial of accuracy in imitation does not negate the اصل (root/essence) of imitation"? And is drawing cartoon characters with complete features and limbs, such as the anime drawings that were mentioned, permissible if it is for a valid purpose?
What the questioner wants to do is permissible, for even though there are some Sharia-related violations in producing purposeful and disciplined animated films, such as drawing animate beings, this is forgiven and overlooked due to the greater benefit hoped for from them.
