QUESTION:
ANSWER:
A mannequin is a depiction/portrayal of a human being together with its bodily features (similar to a statue). To manufacture and sell such items are not permissible. However, a mannequin without the head is not a total portrayal of the bodily features; therefore the selling of mannequins without the heads will be permissible.
