Wearing pyjama's with pictures on them.
Question
Assalamualaikum. I have some pyjamas / t shirts with animal pictures on them. Is it okay to wear them underneath an abaya or cloak when reading salaah?
Answer
It is not permissible to wear garments with pictures of animate objects on them.
The same ruling is for outer garments and inner garments, formal clothing and pyjamas.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
