The ruling on praying in clothes that have images on them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on praying while wearing images? He means that some young men wear T-shirts, may Allah reward you, that have images on them?
Answer:
It is permissible to pray in clothes that have images or a cross on them; the prayer is valid according to the correct view. If he prays, his prayer is valid, but it is disliked. He should not pray in them, nor wear them, even when not praying. If there is an image that can be removed, the head should be cut off, or if it is a cross, it should be torn out. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that it was as if there was something in the image that was torn off, and he did not see anything in the image that was not torn off. When he saw a curtain with an image on it, he tore it off and ripped it until he made it into a cushion (may Allah be pleased with her). So what is in the images should be a carpet or a mat that is stepped on, which does not contradict the ruling, but wearing them is not allowed, nor hanging them.
