Is it Permissible to Draw a Head/Profile Picture Without a Body in Islam?

Q: I heard that it is permissible to draw a picture of a human being if he doesn’t have limbs necessary for living. Does this mean that we can draw a
profile picture of a persons head/face, without the body, since nobody can live without the body?

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
