Is it permissible to use a camera program that freezes the entire image except for a moving part of it, such that a part of a person's body - such as their hand - remains in motion while the rest of the image is still?

What has been mentioned does not deviate from the ruling on photographic imaging and video, both of which scholars have differed upon. The preponderant opinion for us is their permissibility, as long as they do not include anything forbidden. If the image is of an incomplete creation, with a deficiency that prevents the life of a living being, then many scholars have permitted this, and this is further emphasized if the deficiency is in the head.
