Are statues allowed in Islam? I asked my local Imam from my Mosque nearby my house here in Holland, and he told me that statues and images are allowed as long as you don’t worship it. And Umar RA was ruling over Egypt and he did not order to destroy the statues for over 1400 years long. My Imam told me Quran 34:13 as evidence that statues (not for worship) are allowed.

There is a person who answers Islamic questions. He says that every part of a living creature is forbidden as an image. For example even if it’s just a hand. as I know we can remove a head and leave the rest. But according to him even without a head it’s forbidden. I wonder is there any scholar who says that even without a head an image is forbidden?
