The ruling on wearing clothes bearing the images or emblems of disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there a word you would direct to those who wear clothes bearing the images of disbelievers, or artists, or athletes, or who look at them with admiration and pride?

Answer:
Wearing a garment that contains images is not permissible under any circumstances, whether these images are of disbelievers or Muslims. It is not permissible to wear a garment that contains pictures, or phrases from the phrases of disbelievers by which they glorify themselves, or those they revere among them, or an emblem from the emblems of their religion, or a cross from the crosses of the Christians. It is not permissible to wear clothes containing these things, because this is an exaltation of the image and an exaltation of the emblems of the Christians. Therefore, it is obligatory for the Muslim who has fallen into any of this to repent to Allah the Exalted, to take off these clothes, and not to return to them. He should warn Muslims against them. Yes. Because the disbelievers are pleased that we hang their images, we hang their crosses, and we hang the images of those they revere. This is propaganda for the disbelievers and their creed.
