When is a statue of a hand forbidden in Hanah?
Anytime, even when it was once part of a larger statue that broke. We assume that the Nochrim say that the Avodah Zarah’s power went from the entire statue, into the hand.
Only when the hand is on a base, showing that this was the entire statue that was made.
Anytime. We assume that the Nochri intends to fix the statue, by reattaching the hand onto the severed limb, so he was not Mevatel the piece.
Only when two hands are found together. This is learned from the Posuk speaking about Avodah Zarah; “Yedheim (which is plural) VeLo Yemeishun.”
Never. An Avodah Zarah statue cannot be less than a full body.
Is an Avodah Zarah that broke on its own permitted in Hanah?
No, the Nochri was not Mevatel it.
Yes, a broken Avodah Zarah is inherently Batel, for the pieces are useless.
Yes, the Nochrim no longer believe in it when they see that it can't even take care of itself.

May we rely on a Chazakah that a Chaver separated Terumos and Maasros, and that a broken Avodah Zarah statue was Nisbatel?
Yes, we may always rely on a Chazakah.
No, definite proof is necessary to permit an Issur De’oraisa.
We may rely on the Chazakah by Terumos and Maasros, but not by Avodah Zarah.
We may rely on the Chazakah by Avodah Zarah but not by Terumos and Maasros.
We may only rely on a Chazakah in conjunction with an Aid Echad.
