Question
A Maulana says that since the 'nike' logo is no longer associated with the Greek goddess, it no longer has religious significance. It is therefore permissible to wear such garments and shoes. Can I dress my children with such clothes and shoes?
Answer
It is haraam to clad the children with any garb bearing the Nike sign of kufr and shirk. For the sake of your Imaan you are required to forsake these types of shoes for the children. If a Muslim is not prepared to make even this simple sacrifice, then he/she should understand the deficiency of his/her Imaan. The argument of the molvi has no validity.
