My personally opinion is not to buy anything with anything on it, no reason for it and you dont really need it, just keep it plain and simple
Better return it.

Firstly:
It is not permissible to wear clothes on which there are images of animals or people, because of the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (3226) and Muslim (2106) from Abu Talhah (may Allaah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (peace and blessings o
Secondly:
Prayer offered in a garment that has images of people or animals on it is valid, but there is some sin involved.
The Scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: Is it permissible to pray in a garment on which there is an image of a person or images of animals? Is it permissible to enter the toilet in a garment on which there is the name of Allaah?
They replied: It is not permissible to pray in clothes on which there are images of animate beings, whether people, birds, camels, cattle, sheep, or other animate beings, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to wear them when he is not praying either. The prayer of one who prays wearing clothes on which there are images is valid, but he is sinning if he knows the shar’i ruling. It is not permissible to write the name of Allaah on clothing, and it is makrooh to enter the toilet wearing it, because that is showing disrespect to His name, may He be exalted. End quote.
^What the brother above said.
So
"plants, flowers, animals, words"
All of them are allowed except for animals, and obviously obscene words.
what about mystical creatures that aren't found in creation such as dragons, gargoyles and such?
^^ I was gunna ask that, or like a cartoon character. Something like mickey mouse/bugs bunny etc..anything that is an offset of something real.
my niece has lots of clothes with toon characters on it.. like squidward from sponge bob...lol
anyhow perhaps it is a matter better directed to scholars.. since we'll be divided in opinion here I can guarantee...
I have a mickey mouse 1Although that just gets covered by my shawl...
I agree sis lol.

According to what I recall, Sheikh Yaser Birjas said that the ruling only applies to the creations of Allah. So things such as dragons and gargoyles don't apply...
^^
Jazaka Allah khyran..
I don't think many adults wear such ornamented designs anyway.. it is just a little kid issue.. they like sunshine and flowers and things that perk them up.. and they only get one childhood to enjoy it :smile:
No,as per the hadeeth for the painting:nothing with head is allowed,including fantasy creation.format_quote Originally Posted by Gossamer skyewhat about mystical creatures that aren't found in creation such as dragons, gargoyles and such?

I really don't think there is a problem at all with leaves, the majority of mosques are adorned with them..
I don't wear abyas or jilbabs except on occasion and I get mine from this site.. I love the quality of their items.. I hope you enjoy their products too insha'Allah.. they are simple and very chic

http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/books/10#61Having pictures of animate beings on clothing, walls or paper, etc.
'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The people who will be most severely punished by Allaah on the Day of Resurrection are the picture-makers." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, see al-Fath, 10/382). Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Allaah says: 'Who does more wrong than the one who tries to create something like My creation; let him create a grain of wheat or an ear of corn . . .'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, see Fath al-Baari, 10/385). Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: "Every picture-maker will be in the Fire, and for each picture that he made he will be given a soul, and he will be punished in Hell." Ibn 'Abbaas said: If you must make pictures, draw trees and things that do not possess a soul." (Reported by Muslim, 3/1671). These ahaadeeth clearly indicate that it is haraam to make images of animate beings, whether they be humans or different kinds of animals, whether the images are two- or three dimensional. Pictures are forbidden whether they are drawn, engraved, carved, etched or cast from moulds. The ahaadeeth which forbid making pictures cover all these methods.
The Muslim should accept what the Sharee'ah says, without arguing. Some may say "Well, I am not worshipping these pictures or prostrating to them!" But if you look closely and think about just one of the bad effects of the widespread presence of pictures in our times, you will understand the wisdom behind this prohibition: this bad effect is the provocation of sexual desire which leads to immorality, because of these pictures.
The Muslim should not keep any pictures of animate beings in his house, because this prevents the angels from entering his home. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels do not enter a house where there is a dog or pictures." (Reported by al-Bukhaari, see al-Fath, 10/380). In many houses there are even statues, some of which represent the gods of the kuffar, which are kept for decoration; these are more haraam than other kinds, just as pictures which are hung up are worse than pictures which are not hung up. How often have pictures led to glorification and grief, and led to boasting! We should not say that the pictures are kept for memories, for true memories of dear fellow-Muslims lie in the heart, and one remembers them by praying for forgiveness and mercy for them. One should remove all these pictures, or blot them out, except when it is too difficult to do so, as with these pictures which are all over food packaging, or in encyclopaedias and reference books; even then, you should try to remove it, and to be careful about the bad pictures in some books. It is permissible to keep some necessary pictures, such as those on identity cards and licences, or pictures which are walked on (such as pictures in carpets). "So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can . . ." [al-Taghaabun 64:16]
