Can You Pray Salah in Clothes With Pictures on Them?
Question:
Can one perform Salah with clothes that has photos of creatures printed on them?
Answer:
The photo of a living creature whose face is so big that if it was placed on the ground and one stands and looks at it, the details of its body parts could be clearly recognized. If such a photo is on the clothes, then it is not permissible to wear or clothe anyone, or sell or give it as charity. To wear such clothes and perform Salah is Makruh Tahrimi (highly disliked, close to Haram) and necessary to be repeated (with ordinary clothes).
