Is it unlawful to import and sell women’s and children’s clothing that has pictures of celebrities on it? Is earning from it unlawful? And what should be done with the accumulated goods of this type if selling them is unlawful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is forbidden to wear anything that contains images of living beings, whether real or imaginary, due to the evidence that prohibits imaging and the fact that angels do not enter a house that contains images. The prohibition of selling follows the prohibition of wearing. The حرمة (sacred inviolability/prohibition) may be intensified if the images are of unveiled women or glorified figures. It is advised to return these goods and replace them with what is permissible, or to stop importing such items.
