Summary
Khuf made from the skin of animals that are not eaten may be worn, except those made from dog or pig skin, provided the skin has been tanned. Tanned hides of carcasses are pure, and purity is one of the conditions for a khuf to be wiped over. Other conditions include wearing it after a complete ablution, covering the part of the foot that must be washed, being waterproof except at the stitching, and being sturdy enough for walking.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
hukum memakai khuf yang diperbuat daripada kulit haiwan yang tidak dimakan selain anjing dan babi, adalah boleh digunakan sekiranya ia telah disamak.
