The Ruling on Using Cat Skins
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned in a past lesson that cats are pure, so is it permissible to use their skins?
Answer:
It is the same as the ruling on the meat of cats that is eaten. The meat of cats is subject to a difference of opinion: does tanning purify the skin of an animal whose meat is not eaten, or does it not? And cats are included in that.
