Is it permissible to donate clothes that are prohibited (red, or those containing images of animate beings) and were purchased unknowingly, in order to avoid wastefulness?

It is permissible to wear red clothing without dislike, according to most jurists. As for clothing that contains images of animate beings, some scholars have deemed it permissible to wear, while others have declared it (forbidden) or (disliked). The prohibition of a complete image is removed by removing a part without which the animal cannot live, such as the head. Accordingly, it is permissible to wear and gift red clothing or clothing that contains images of animate beings, provided the face is obscured.
