Is it permissible to pray in a garment that has images in it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, W. G. M., sent a message containing several questions, starting with: Is it permissible to pray in a garment that has images in it?

Answer:
It is disliked to pray in a garment that has patterns or images, and images are more severe because they distract from humility in the prayer. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in a garment that had lines or patterns, he said that it distracted him from his prayer, so he replaced it with another garment that did not have anything to distract from the prayer.
It is not permissible to wear a garment that has images in it, or a ring that has an image in it, or women’s jewelry that has an image in it. So it is not permissible to wear anything with images because that involves using the image and displaying the image, and images are forbidden except where dire necessity calls for it. Yes.
