The majority of scholars prohibit drawing complete images of animate beings. The intention of entertainment does not permit prohibited drawing. However, if the drawings are missing a part essential for life, such as the head or chest, some scholars have permitted it. Similarly, drawing is permissible if it serves a public interest, such as drawing purposeful cartoons for children to teach them manners and virtues.
