Summary
Prayer in counterfeit clothing is valid provided its pillars and conditions are fulfilled, and it does not need to be repeated. The validity of the prayer and the wearing of counterfeit clothing are treated as two separate issues under the concept of jihah munfakkah. Buying, selling or illegally copying patented goods is prohibited in principle, so the wearer is still considered sinful.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka, disimpulkan bahawa solat dengan pakaian tiruan adalah sah, sekiranya memenuhi rukun dan syarat. Namun, si pemakainya tetap dikira berdosa.
