I understand the opinion that drawing a living thing is haram but, would drawing a head without a neck be haram?
Answer
Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
The ruling is determined on whether the facial features are drawn or not.
If a person draws a head, but does not draw the nose and mouth, then it is fine. It does not matter whether there is a neck or not.
Conversely, it is not permissible to draw the nose and mouth, irrespective whether there is a neck or not.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best
