Question:

 

Is it okay to pray wearing an ID badge that has your picture on it?

 

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

 

Answer:

 

It is Makrooh to wear anything during prayer that has a picture of an animate object.1 Thus the ID badge should be removed, placed in one’s pocket, or covered before starting the prayer.
