At times il or la is used before mio or mia and at other times it's incorrect to use il or la. Is there a rule?

The article is required. You might have heard this rule:
Omission of possessive adjectives : In general, possessives are not used with parts ot the body or clothing of the subject when they are the object of the action taken by the subject.
that is from this link.
