What is the ruling on drawing people without facial features like eyes and a nose, given the compulsion to do so in exams and the fear of losing grades, after the previous prohibition of drawing the face?
If you are compelled to draw animate beings in an exam, you may draw the face without the nose and eyes, or draw people from behind without showing their faces, because necessity is estimated by its true measure. This is while recalling the words of Allah Almighty: (So fear Allah as much as you are able), and His words: (And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out).
