Ruling on wearing clothes that have images of humans or animals

Question:
I heard on this program that it is forbidden to wear clothes that have drawings of humans or animals. Does this prohibition apply to children's clothes? If the answer is yes, and I have a large collection of children's clothes with drawings of humans and animals, am I obligated to get rid of them? Is it permissible to give them in charity to the poor and needy, or not? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.

Answer:
It is not permissible to wear clothes that have images of animals, whether human, lion, wolf, dog, cat, or otherwise, not for a man, not for a woman, not for a child, and not for an adult; because their presence in the clothes involves a type of honoring them, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited images and cursed the image-makers. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And he said: Except if the images are humiliated on a carpet or a cushion; there is no harm in that, they are not prohibited, if they are humiliated on something like a carpet that is walked on, like a cushion, or like a sofa that is sat on; these are humiliated. As for clothes, no. But if these clothes are made into cushions, made into cushions, or into mats that are humiliated; there is no harm. Or if something is placed on the head to remove it, a patch that removes it, covers it, and conceals it; there is no harm in that. Yes.
