The questioner : Noble Shaykh, what do you say about what some of our Muslim sons do today regarding the sports clothing they wear, which bears the logos of disbelieving countries or some disbelieving players, or contains symbols of fanaticism for some disbelieving sports teams out of admiration for them? Is this part of loyalty to the disbelievers? Please rule for us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : This may not be loyalty to the disbelievers on the surface, but in the one who does it, there is in his heart an exaltation of the disbelievers that contradicts faith or the perfection of faith. It is obligatory for us Muslims to boycott such clothing and not to buy it, for there is plenty in what Allah has made lawful for us in clothing. If we take to this clothing, it becomes a source of honor for the disbelievers, whereas we used to take pride in having their images or names worn by us. They take pride in this and see it as honoring and respecting them. Secondly, they strip us of our money with this clothing; their factories are warm and our pockets are open to spend money for them. This is an error. Now, if you went to some houses, you would find a woman with more than twenty dresses; whenever a new fashion appears, she buys it. The same applies to the players. I advise our brothers to boycott this clothing entirely and to be content with clothing tailored here in the Islamic style that conforms to the guidance of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
