Imaam wearing shoes with pigskin leather inside-soles
Question
If someone sees the imaam after he has led the salaah wearing slippers with pigskin leather inside-soles. Did the pigskin leather inside-soles make the socks he was wearing impure? The salaah he led was it valid or invalid for everyone?
Answer
If it was dry, the socks will not become napaak and the Salaah will be valid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
