Is it permissible to wear clothing on which are written Islamic phrases?

Question: 174372

Are we allowed to wear t-shirts having statements on them related to Islam i.e. Islam is the religion of peace, choose Islam, Al QURAN the final message of God etc.

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

It does not seem to us that there is any reason not to allow
wearing clothing on which are written phrases that promote virtue and good
characteristics, or which praise Islam and its rulings and laws. 

But one should pay attention to two things with regard to
this writing: 

1.The phrases should not include
the name of Allah. We have drawn attention to this matter in the answer to
question no. 1047.

2.It should not be worn by women;
rather it should only be for men whose tradition is to wear these types of
clothing. The reason why we said that it is not permissible for women to
wear these kind of garments is because the aim behind them is to attract
attention so that the words may be read, and because they are usually
colourful. And it is not appropriate for these to be attributes of women’s
clothing, as we have explained in the answer to question no.

For more information, please see the answer to question no.

And Allah knows best.
