Question
My friend says that it is permissible to wear the Manchester United shirt which has a logo of the devil on it because we don't really know what shaytaan looks like, and in any case the logo refers to the Tasmanian devil, not to shaitaan himself. What is the Shariah's ruling?
Answer
Your friend must be in cahoots with the devil, be it the Tasmanian devil. All devils are the progeny of Iblees. If the Manchester United shirt has even the logo: "There is only One God", then too it will be haraam to wear it because Tashabbuh bil Kuffaar is haraam.
