Ruling on praying in clothes printed with images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first message in this episode is from a listener (H. F. M.) from the Eastern Region. Our sister is asking a set of questions, one of which is: What is the ruling on praying in clothes printed with images?
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
To proceed: Praying in clothes that contain images of animals is not permissible. This is because when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a curtain with images in it at the home of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), he became angry and tore it apart, and he said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5362Sahih (Darussalam) When he saw images on the walls of the Ka'bah, he erased them, and he forbade images in the house and said to Ali: Riyad as-Salihin 1687.
In summary: It is not permissible for a believer, male or female, to pray in a garment that contains images. It is also not permissible for a believing woman to make clothes with images for her children and young ones. All of this is not permissible. However, if the head is removed, that is sufficient. If she places a patch over the head and sews a patch over the head to hide it, there is no harm; the concern is removed, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

The makers of these images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them: 'Bring to life that which you have created.'
إن أصحاب هذه الصور يعذبون يوم القيامة ويقال لهم: أحيوا ما خلقتمSpare no portrait unwiped out, and leave not a high grave unlevelled.
لا تدع صورة إلا طمستها ولا قبرًا مشرفًا إلا سويتهIn summary: It is not permissible for a believer, male or female, to pray in a garment that contains images.
