Ask The Imam Question and Answer

368 Could you please tell me if you are allowed to wear a leather jacket whilst reading Namaz? If the answer is yes then can you please provide me with evidence as I need to show it to someone?
It is permissible as long as the leather is processed (purified) before manufacture (i.e. cleaned from any animal fat and filth, which is common in manufacturing now days) and it is not from a prohibited animal like pig. The best evidence for this is that leather socks are worn and by doing so one avoids washing the feet in wuzu and Salaah is allowed to be performed whist wearing these socks, so naturally this is allowed.
