Summary
The prayer of a person carrying a leather wallet is valid. The hide of a carcass becomes pure once tanned, except the hides of pigs and dogs, so it may be made into bags or wallets. This ruling adopts the view of the Shafii, Hanafi and some Hanbali scholars, while the Maliki school and some Hanbalis hold that tanning does not purify carcass hides.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh kerana ianya menjadi suci setelah disamak, maka tiada masalah jika dibawa ke dalam solat.
