Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: It has become common for many young men and women to wear clothes with images on them, whether the clothes are small or large, so we ask for guidance and advice on this matter?
Answer:
It is not permissible to wear what has images on it, neither for adults nor for children. It is not permissible to wear clothing that has images of animals, or images of humans, or images of birds; anything that has a soul, it is not permissible. This is not permissible for children or for adults, because this involves giving honor to the image and carrying the image. Image-making is forbidden, and the one who makes images is cursed, so it is not permissible to carry images. And if there are crosses, an image of a cross, that is even more severe. It is obligatory that the clothes of Muslims be free from images and free from the symbols of disbelievers, and that the clothes contain nothing that is religiously prohibited. Yes.
