[soc.religion.islam] is leather ok?

raza@cs.heriot-watt.ac.uk (Z. Raza Hussain) (02/15/91)

can someone please answer this simple question?

what i'd like to know is whether or not it's okay to wear leather
jackets possibly made from haraam leather?

presumably this applies to things like shoes, belts and even perhaps
sitting on a leather sofa (chair) !
