Greetings to you Imam. I wish to know whether it is permitted to draw faces?
Question
If there is an outline of a drawing (faces/animals faces)and you go over the outline, is it permitted?
Answer
We have not come across any specific ruling in this matter. Thus, the safest would be to regard such drawings as Haraam, as is the position with the drawings of all animate objects.
However, if the head is totally removed, such drawings will be permissible. (Mirqaat vol. 8 pg.334)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
