Receiving a gift of clothing which has a dinosaur picture printed all over it

Q: My son received a gift of clothing which has a dinosaur picture printed all over it. It was a black shadow picture without features.

Since we don't even know if dinosaurs were real, can he wear it or is it moorath?

If it is moorath, can I sell it and keep the money to use or should I just give it away?

A: You may cover the entire picture or the head and thereafter allow your son to wear it. Alternatively, you may cover the head and then give it away to a poor person and compensate your son for its value.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
