· 14 Jumada II 1433 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

If one touches with ones hand or clothes for example a pigskin leather jacket, does his hand/clothes become impure? If one is praying and someone joins the saff who is wearing a pigskin leather jacket, and during the Salaah the pigskin leather jacket does touch the person for a duration of one rukun does his Salaah become nullified?

Answer

If there is no moisture on it then the hand will not become najis.
