“Islamic” T-shirts
Question: 1047
Salam.
There are T-shirts currently available in my area with the word
“Allah” written on it. The issue has been raised that this is wrong because
people may abuse the T-shirt by wearing it or throwing it on the floor out of
carelessness. Also, it has been asked whether it can be worn to the toilet.
What is your opinion on the matter ?
Jazakallah.
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is not permissible to buy or wear these T-shirts, and the one who
wears them should be denounced, because they involve disrespect towards the name of
Allaah, which is bound to be mistreated by being printed on these shirts, whether they are
thrown in places where Allaah’s name should not be put, such as in bathrooms
(especially when they get dirty and need washing) or are mistreated in other ways. If you
and other Muslims refrain from buying these shirts, this will narrow the market for them,
which will force the producers – if their aim is merely commercial – to stop
printing them. And Allaah knows best.
