Is it permissible to wear clothes with a leopard print at home, knowing that Al-Bukhari forbade it and that the questioner intends not to buy any more of them?
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade cushions made from the skins of predatory animals, such as leopards. This prohibition includes wearing these skins, riding on them, and using them as coverings. Among the reasons for this prohibition are the pride, arrogance, and resemblance to tyrants that they embody, as well as their association with extravagance and excess. Furthermore, some scholars have deemed them impure because they come from animals whose meat is unlawful to consume. There is no difference whether they are used inside or outside the home. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also informed us that angels do not accompany a group that has leopard skin with them. As for similar synthetic leathers, it is preferable to avoid them.
