Question

Title: Invalidation of Prayers due to Pictures on Clothes Question: I know that if a T-shirt has a picture of an animated thing, prayer is not valid; but what if it has a very small company logo usually crocodile, penguin, cock, puma etc.? Nauman Ilyas Answer: The detested pictures and images are only those, which are worshiped and revered. One should not wear any clothes, which have any revered or worshiped images printed upon them. Other images, which do not entail any element of worship or reverence, do not invalidate one's prayers even if they are printed or embroidered on one's clothes in which he offers his prayers. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad January 3, 2002
