God bless! Mel, somehow your question ended up in the video section. I will ask a moderator to move it. About the socks, is the number visible when your daughter would wear them? Or is the number hidden? I think there is nothing wrong in wearing the socks if the number is hidden. If the number is visible to others, I can understand that you wouldn't want others to think you and your family are Muslims. If the number is visible, could your daughter just wear the socks around the house, around family? Or can you exchange the socks? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an equation to transfer Arabic words into numbers. Apparently 786 means, "in the name of God (Allah), the compassionate and merciful". Is the 786 on the socks? Are they visible with her shoes? If they can be hidden, then socks are socks. If not, then I'd maybe see about exchanging or tossing them. Many groups use such symbols and indirect signs as a way of communicating common ground with one another. I'm not familiar with muslims doing such things, though, I've only heard of that among gangs and groups like the Klan/nazis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God bless! It's just a number, and it isn't all that significant. If it was showing something like the numerals 666 or an occult symbol of some sort, then there might be reasons for concern. I see no real harm in the socks. If they're needed, let your daughter wear them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't want that, of course. If the number is not visible (hidden), then wear the socks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's envogue to use area and airport codes. The ATL for Atlanta or the 570 for our local entertainment paper are examples.
