Is it permissible to wear a watch whose brand logo resembles a cross and to pray while wearing it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
You must remove the cross shape on the watch, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, "would not leave anything with crosses in his house without destroying it." And taking something that has the image of a cross without removing it is disliked or forbidden. The destruction is accomplished by anything that removes the form of the cross.
