Are Reef sandals made of pig leather?

Are Reef sandals made of pig leather?
assalamu alaykum





Even if the sandals are made of leather from the skin of a pig, you can still wear the shoes. We are prohibited from eating pork but NOT from using the hide to make leather.





The prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) is reported to have said:





%26quot;Tanning removes its impurity.%26quot; (Reported by al-Hakim)


%26quot;If the skin is tanned, it is purified.%26quot; (Reported by Muslim)





(Tanning is the process of coverting animal skin into leather.)





Conderning these ahadith, Sheikh Qaradawi (may God accept his works) says in _al-halal wa-l haram fee islam_ (The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam):





%26quot;The application of these ahadith is quite general, including the skin of the dog or the pig. This was the opinion of the jurists of the Zahiri school, of Abu Yusuf, the pupil of Abu Hanifah, and of al-Shawkani.%26quot;





wassalam,


Abdelkarim
