Taking a picture of the back of the head

Q: Is it permissible to take a photo of the back of the head of an animate object, or from below the head down?

A: If the entire head is out, it will be permissible provided that the picture is not of a non-mahram woman which is being viewed by a man or of a non-mahram man which is being viewed by a woman.

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