What is the ruling on drawing cartoon characters electronically for entertainment purposes, given that they do not have a neck, but rather a head attached to the body? And are the neck or stomach among the body parts without which life cannot exist?

Among the images that are permissible are: incomplete images from which life-sustaining parts have been removed—such as the belly or neck—and images with indistinct features that lack clear outlines. Some scholars have permitted images used for teaching children, just as some have allowed electronic drawings that are free from Shariah-prohibited elements.
