Pigskin Leather and Impurity in Prayer: What You Need to Know

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: 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?

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

الكلب إذا أخذ عضو إنسان أو ثوبه لا يتنجس ما لم يظهر فيه أثر البلل راضيا كان أو غضبان كذا في منية المصلي قال في الصيرفية هو المختار كذا في شرحها لإبراهيم الحلبي إذا نام الكلب على حصير المسجد إن كان يابسا لا يتنجس وإن كان رطبا ولم يظهر أثر النجاسة فكذلك كذا في فتاوى قاضي خان (الفتاوى الهندية 1/48)
