Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people use the skins of snakes in shoes and sandals, while others use the skins of wild beasts, such as lions and tigers, in their clothing.
Answer:
This is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited the skins of wild beasts. The skins of snakes are impure; snakes are among the impure things, so it is not permissible to use their skins. What people are doing is an innovation.
