Q: An animate image is such that, if placed on the ground, a standing person of reasonable vision would be unable to make out and discern the features of the image. The view of some Hanafi Deobandi 'Ulama is that such small pictures are permissible. These 'Ulama do say that animate images (digital or otherwise) are prohibited. However, it must be noted that many pictures that can be viewed on a cellphone screen practically fall into this category of small pictures. This is more so with the cartoon, animate images that appear on cellphone video games. What is your view regarding these small pictures that fit the description mentioned above - whether on a cellphone screen or otherwise?

Q: There's something lately bugging me a lot. I'm a developing artist. I am going to pursue my career in arts, and I've been told by my many art teachers that drawing anatomy isn't properly forbidden until I researched myself hadiths related to it. Now I feel quite hesitant towards drawing faces, I've always been really good at drawing human features. And might also face consequences in future where I'll have to face drawing anatomy. What I should do? It's something not making me happy yet also I love arts. Even if from now on I try to avoid making faces, what about the ones I have made before?
