QUESTION
I’ve just found out that my new balance trainers use pig suede. The suede in on the outside of the trainers not inside, are these permissible to wear? JazakAllah
ANSWER
﷽
According to the Hanafī school, using leather or suede derived from pigskin, even if tanned, is not permissible. If it is confirmed that the shoes contain pigskin, wearing them is not permissible, as pigs are inherently impure and no part of their body can be utilised.
