Hanafi Fiqh

Answered by Ustadh Tabraze Azam
Question: Is it permissible to wear lizard leather (e.g. tanned lizard leather)?
Answer: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I pray that you are in the best of health and faith, insha’Allah.
Yes, it is permitted to use the tanned hide of any animal except that of pigs or humans. [Shurunbulali, Maraqi al-Falah]
The pig is considered to be essentially filthy, and the human being has a God-given nobility.
And Allah alone gives success.
