Sayyid Sistani: It is permissible to represent their characters (peace be upon them), provided that it does not harm their noble status and sacred images in people's hearts, and the qualities of the actor portraying them may also play a role in this.

Sayyid Khamenei: Since it is very difficult to maintain the sanctity of the subject as it should be and to respect the status of Imam Hussein, his companions, and his noble family (peace be upon them all), and the sanctity of the martyr Imam and his companions (peace be upon them all), it is necessary to exercise caution in this area by avoiding what has been mentioned. There is no difference in this regard between revealing the actor's face or covering it.
