What is the ruling on wearing clothes that have pictures of animals on them?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to wear clothes adorned with images of living beings, because they prevent angels from entering the house, and because they imitate Allah's creation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the effacement of images. As for images of non-living beings, there is no harm in them.
