Question:
One of the sisters says that a garment was given to her as a gift, and this garment has a cross on it. She prayed while wearing this garment. She asks: Does she have to repeat the prayer, or does she owe nothing?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but she should leave this garment, or the cross should be rubbed off or washed away with something.
Q: Is it forbidden to wear a garment that has a cross on it?
The Shaykh: Yes, and images as well, and images of living beings, unless they are defaced; there is nothing wrong with that.
Q: What about young children as well?
The Shaykh: Even children; because it is hung up and preserved.
