So I have a leather L.L. Bean cowhide belt made in the 
USA?  As a Hanabali, can I wear this during the 
prayer? What are the names of the two Hanbali scholars 
who mentioned this.  Wassalaam.

If a slaughtered animal's meat is lawful to eat, then 
tanning its leather 
will make it pure. This holds true whether a Muslim 
slaughtered the 
animal according to Islamic law, or it someone 
from&nbsp; the People of 
the Book doing it according to their law.<br><br> 
If an animal is not slaughtered or its meat is 
unlawful to eat, then 
tanning will not make its leather pure. This leather, 
however, can be 
used with things that are dry and solid but not with 
wets and 
liquids.<br><br> 
I asked two sheikhs about the problem of leather goods 
in the West. Both 
said that if the leather originates from a country 
whose population is 
considered Muslim or People of the Book, then it is 
considered ritually 
pure. Both sheikhs said that the consumer is not 
burdened with doing 
anything other than looking at the label. Neither 
sheikh saw any problem 
in using wearing leather shoes made of questionable 
leather since they 
would be removed for prayer.<br><br>
