What is the ruling on wearing shoes and leather garments in non-Muslim countries, bearing in mind the jurisprudential disagreement regarding the purity of the hide of a carcass through tanning? And do the foot, the sock, and everything that comes into contact with the hide of a carcass become impure if the foot sweats, based on the Maliki opinion that the hide of a carcass is pure outwardly but not inwardly?

The fatwa (religious edict) states that the skins of dead animals become pure through tanning, and it is permissible to wear shoes and clothes made from them. The Maliki school of thought holds that the skin of a dead animal remains impure even after tanning, but its use is permitted after tanning for dry substances and pure water only. However, the skin of a pig is never permitted. If the foot perspires while wearing a shoe made from the skin of a dead animal, the foot becomes impure.
