Is it haram to pray salat while wearing a shirt with the Polo Ralph Lauren logo (featuring someone playing polo on a horse)?

Question

I have the Polo Ralph Lauren logo on the left side of my shirt. Is it permissible for me to pray salat while wearing it?

Answer 1

Yes, it is permissible. The face of both the horse and the rider is unclear in this logo. Ibn Abbaas (RA) said:

"The image is the head. So if the head is cut off, it is no longer an image." -- Source

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen said:

"If the image is not clear – that is, it does not have eyes, a nose, a mouth or fingers – then this is not a complete image and is not competing with the creation of Allah, may He be glorified and exalted."

Quote from, Majmoo Fatawa ash-Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (2/278-279)

Since the image is not haram, it is halal for you to wear this shirt and pray while wearing it.
