Answer:
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Registered trademarks and brand names are regarded as legitimate rights in Shariah. It is not permissible to sell replicas of registered trademarks and brand names. That is a violation of the rights of the trademark and brand name company. If Bedoon Essam is a registered brand name and trademark, it is not permissible to sell cloaks with the Bedoon Essam brand name. That will also be a deception.[i
