What is the ruling on wearing shirts with the name of Allah (God) written on them, and is it permissible to enter the restroom with them, taking into consideration the possibility of them being disrespected or discarded?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
These shirts that carry the word of Allah (Allah's name) are not permissible to buy or wear. One must admonish the person wearing them, because writing the word of Allah on them is a form of disrespect, which leads to its degradation when they are thrown in inappropriate places like bathrooms. Refraining from buying them narrows the scope of their circulation and prompts manufacturers to stop writing the word of Allah on them.
