According to the Hanbalis, prayer in a usurped garment is invalid. The majority, however, hold that it is valid, though sinful. It is disliked to pray in a garment that has distracting images. It is absolutely forbidden to wear anything with an image of an animal, whether in prayer or outside of it. It is not permissible to pray in clothes that have images of animate beings, but the prayer is valid, though sinful, for one who knows the ruling. It is forbidden to wear clothes that have an image of an animal or a human.
