Question

Hello, is it permitted to draw or photograph a human figure?

Answer

Hello,

Care should be taken not to draw or photograph a human figure, but there is room to be lenient with half a figure. [Therefore, when taking wedding photos and the like, part of the hand should be hidden behind the back]. However, the custom of the world is not to be strict about this.
