Prayer in garments bearing images

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do garments that do not permit prayer include those that have images on them?

Answer:
It is forbidden. Wearing garments that have images on them is forbidden, and praying in them is [forbidden], because they carry a forbidden image. Perhaps this image is of a disbeliever whom they venerate, such as a soccer ball; they depict the players and famous people who play soccer on their sports clothing, and they are disbelievers. It is not permissible for a Muslim to carry an image of a disbeliever. And if it is an image of a Muslim, it is also not permissible for him, because using images and venerating images is forbidden. Yes.
