Is it permissible to pray in clothes that have a butterfly drawing on them without clear features?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Originally, it is not permissible for men or women to wear anything that contains images of living beings, due to the : 'Angels do not enter a house in which there is an image or a dog.' However, it is permissible to wear such an item if the image is defaced, or if that part of it which would make it seem alive is removed, or if its features are unclear, such as having no eye, nose, mouth, or fingers. In such cases, the image would not be imitating Allah's creation."
