Some scholars have permitted images that do not feature distinct facial features, and they do not consider them among the prohibited forms of photography, because they do not emulate Allah's creation. So, if an image is not clear, lacking eyes, a nose, a mouth, or fingers, it is not a complete image and does not emulate Allah's creation. There is no harm in creating symbolic shapes that do not resemble Allah's creation.
