Question #1220:

Is returning the parts of a dismantled doll, such as hand, leg, and head to it included in the impermissibility of making a statue? And could it fall in the category of making statues?

Making limbs or returning them to their places per se is not considered as sculpture. At any rate, making a statue is no problem.
