The ruling on wearing clothes that have images or phrases on them

Question:
May Allah do you good. This person is asking about clothing, whether it is sportswear or otherwise. He says that sometimes it has images of some disbelievers on it, sometimes it has names on it, and sometimes it carries phrases with inappropriate meanings. Is wearing it forbidden, especially since there is an alternative available that is made in these blessed lands?

Answer:
It is not permissible to wear clothes that have images on them, because this amounts to carrying a forbidden image, whether it is the image of a Muslim or the image of a disbeliever. For example, it is forbidden to carry an image on one’s garment, on one’s back, on the front, or on the side. One does not carry images. If they are images of disbelievers, the matter is even more severe, because this involves loving the person in the image and praising him. He does not carry this image unless he is pleased with the person in it. If the person is a disbeliever, the matter is even more severe. The conclusion is that it is not permissible to wear clothes that have images on them, nor to hang them on the walls until the images are removed, so that no images remain on the garment.
This is regarding wearing clothes that have images on them. Praise be to Allah, if the clothes are free of such images, whether they are made in these lands or outside them, even if they are made or woven in the lands of the disbelievers, as long as they do not have images on them, they are permissible, praise be to Allah.
