dear mufti sb. can i perform namaz in a shirt which has a picture on the chest or on the back. what are the conditions, if the picture is on the back side? what about if picture is made without nose and eye; does it come in the category of picture?
Answer
(Fatwa: 946/905=D)
It is haram to make pictures (of living being) on clothes and to wear it any time whether in salah or outside salah, whether the picture is on the chest or on the back.
(2) A picture of living being which has head, eyes, nose and ears has the above ruling, while it is allowed to pray with a headless picture which had no trace of eyes, nose and ears. However, in a state of emergency, one can offer salah by putting any sheet or handkerchief over the picture. ھکذا فی کتب الفقہ
