Question

Clothing products in the West are made in many countries (China, India, etc…) and many leather products do not specify what kind of leather it is. In this case, what is the ruling on wearing such products?

Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani · Accepted Answer

If you are not certain that the leather is natural, the leather product is treated as pure and it is not necessary to investigate. And if you are certain the leather product is natural and you do not consider it probable that it may have been imported from an Islamic country or made from the hide of an Islamically - slaughtered animal, the leather is treated as impure and prayer in it is not permissible. In cases other than the ones mentioned above, the leather is pure and prayer in it is permissible.
