Question:
I have a clothing store, and there is a type of clothing that has a drawing resembling the cross. What is the ruling on selling this clothing?
Answer:
It is not permissible to sell clothing that has images on it in general, images of living beings, or that has an image of the cross, and this is more severe, because this is the emblem of the Christians who worship the cross, may Allah protect us from that, and they wear it on their chests. So, wearing a garment or clothing that has a cross on it is imitating the Christians and carrying the emblem of the Christians. Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of this.
