The ruling on praying in clothes bearing the mention of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good as well. He asks about one who wears clothes on which the mention of Allah is written, as well as clothing on which "Allahu Akbar" is written. Is that permissible or not?
Answer:
This is not permissible, because it involves degrading the mention of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Writing the name of Allah, the Attribute of Majesty, on clothing is not permissible because of the disrespect shown to the name of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. This is because such clothing is worn by children who do not guard against impurity, and it is worn by a person when he enters the place of relief to relieve himself. The garment may be taken off and stepped on or degraded. The names of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, are to be honored, and His mention is to be honored, not degraded. Yes.
