What is the ruling on wearing the skins of snakes or predatory animals in shoes and other items?

If predatory animals and snakes are slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law (dhakāt sharʿīyah), their skins are pure, according to the opinion of some scholars, even though their meat is not permissible to eat. If they are not slaughtered, then their skins become pure through tanning. Based on this, there is no harm in wearing them as shoes, belts, and similar items.
