What is the ruling on praying in clothing that imitates the disbelievers, or contains images?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible to pray in clothing that imitates the disbelievers, or contains images? May Allah benefit you with your knowledge. Please give us a ruling, and may you be rewarded.

Answer:
Imitating the disbelievers is not permissible and is forbidden in prayer and in other matters. One commits a sin for it, but his prayer is valid if it covers his 'awrah (part of the body that must be covered). However, he commits a sin for imitating the disbelievers. It is not permissible to wear a garment that has an image on it, because this is carrying the image and using the image. This is forbidden, and it involves imitating the Christians who carry the cross, which they claim is in the image of Jesus. Therefore, it is not permissible to carry images. In clothing, and if it is in prayer, the matter is more severe, because the sin is greater. Yes.
