Clothes bearing symbols of disbelievers have a detailed ruling:
1. It is not permissible to import, sell, or wear them if they symbolize a religion of disbelievers, such as the cross.
2. They are forbidden if they symbolize the glorification of any of them, such as placing their picture or name.
3. There is no harm in them if they are merely permissible commercial trademarks that do not symbolize worship or glorification of a person.
