What is the ruling on wearing clothes that contain images of animate beings, and does the warning apply to the one who wears them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the picture is of an incomplete creation, such that life cannot be sustained with it, then there is no harm in wearing it. However, if it is complete, it is preferable to avoid it, even though the more likely opinion is that it is not forbidden and does not fall under the purview of the warning [against image-making].
