Summary
Placing the name of Allah on clothing such as socks is regarded as an insult and mockery of the sacred word. The name of Allah is sacred and must not be placed anywhere that leads to disrespect. Citing the 82nd MKI Fatwa Committee resolution (2008), the statement holds that Muslims are obliged to safeguard the word in the best manner, and any insult or misuse should be curbed under the provisions of the Federal Constitution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, meletakkan nama Allah SWT pada pakaian seperti stoking dan seumpamanya adalah satu penghinaan dan persendaan terhadap kalimah ini.
