The ruling on entering the mosque and praying in clothing that contains images

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on entering the mosque in clothing that contains images, and praying in such clothing?

Answer:
It is not permissible to wear clothing that contains images in the first place, neither in the mosque, nor in the street, nor in the house. Whoever carries an image of a living being, this is forbidden (haram) to use. It may also be a form of exalting the one who carries the images of players and geniuses, as they say; this becomes a type of worship, so this is absolutely not permissible. And if he carries them in prayer, the matter is more severe and the prohibition is stronger. Also, the mosque is respected, and nothing of the anger of Allah or the disobedience of Allah the Exalted is to be brought into it.
