Wearing clothes that have a cross figure

Q 7: What is the ruling on wearing clothes with a cross that was bought without realizing it, being not clear in its shape?


A: If it is realized after buying the clothes that they have crosses on them, it is prohibited to offer Salah (Prayer) while wearing them. You should remove the cross either by scrubbing, dyeing or otherwise. It was narrated by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih (authentic) Book of Hadith, on the authority of `Imran ibn Hattan that `Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) told him, The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to obliterate anything carrying crosses in the house. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
