Prayer in clothes with images

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
To you, and this is Sami who says that he prayed in clothes with images. Is there anything required of him for that?

Answer:
He made a mistake in this, so it is not permissible for a Muslim to wear clothes with images in them. It is not permissible for a Muslim to carry images on his body or have them visible in his clothes—visible images, images of artists or images of basketball players or the like, intended to honor these people. This is not permissible. It is not permissible for a Muslim to wear what has images in it. Also, this involves imitating the Christians who wear the cross, and the cross is an image they claim is an image of Jesus (peace be upon him) crucified on wood. This is not permissible, because the forbidden image-making, carrying it, and using it is forbidden, and imitating the Christians is forbidden. But as long as he was unaware of this matter, or did not know there were images in them until after the prayer ended, his prayer is valid, if Allah wills. Yes.
