Asalamu Alaykum.

So recently I've got to know that the grandson of the prophet (saw) who was Hussain (ra), his head matched the prophet's (saw) head very much. There are many hadith which confirms this.

But I also got to know that when Hussain (ra) died, a man made a statue, and made his statue match his head. I've asked a few shia friends about this, and they confirm that it is right.

I know that making statues is haram, and that shias usually pray to their imams, especially Hussain. But then... This head of Hussain is actually to be found many places. And the shias confirm that this is the real face of him.

For me it looks like the way the Christians made a image of Esa (saw), that the shias use the head of Hussain (ra).

But I want to know, if the statue is real? Because if it is real, then that is somehow the face of the prophet (saw).
