QUESTION:

Usually on Jeans, they have a leather patch.  Is it okay to wear those jeans
or do you have to remove the leather patch?  Also, how about leather belts?
I am asking about leather from a non-islamic country.


ANSWER:

According to Ayatullah Seestani, one can pray with that leather patch as
long as one is not sure that it came from an animal which has not been
slaughtered according to Sharia', regardless of whether it is local or
imported from a Muslim or non-Muslim country.
