Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I am in the third grade and I came to learn. I heard the Shaykh’s answer regarding the clothing worn by athletes, which has the names of disbeliever players and the emblems of clubs from the lands of disbelief on it. Is it permissible to wear it?
Answer:
No. If it has images on it, do not wear it. Even if it has images of Muslims, do not wear it. Anything with images on it, wearing it promotes the images and exalts them. If the images are of disbelievers, the matter is more severe, because this is exalting the disbelievers. If it does not have images but has the emblems of the disbelievers, such as the cross, do not wear it either.
