What is the ruling on selling decorative statues that do not have facial features?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the statues have heads but lack facial features (eyes, mouth, and nose), then it is permissible to sell, buy, and possess them, because they do not emulate Allah's creation. Emulating Allah's creation is forbidden, but if the image does not have clear features (such as lacking an eye, nose, or mouth), then it is not a complete image and does not emulate Allah's creation.
