Answer:
Wearing shirt with
animate emblem
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Q-1: Can we eat
Mushroom
Mushrooms are from amongst the vegetation kingdom, and all
vegetation, without exception, have been declared ‘halaal’ for consumption for
the believers.
Q-2: Can we do
prayer by wearing shirt, dress having the symbols of Animals or humanbeing
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 4.448 Narrated by Abu Talha
I heard the Messenger
of Allah (saws) saying; "Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein
there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an
animal)."
In light of the above guidance of the Messenger of Allah
(saws), it would be best for the believers to abstain from wearing any clothes
which have animate pictures on them.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and well wisher in
Islam,
