The questioner : What is the ruling on praying in clothing that has an image on it?
The Shaykh : The ruling on praying in clothing that has an image on it is that the prayer is disliked, and at the same time it is valid. As for the dislike, it is based on what we know from the abundance of hadiths that prohibit engaging in image-making first, and possessing images second. Among these is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 2106e. Since there is nothing in the scriptural evidence that necessitates the invalidity of the prayer for one who prays in a garment containing an image, we say that the prayer is valid with dislike.

لا تدخل الملائكة بيتًا فيه صورة أو كلب
