Question #275:

Would you mind clearing up for us your respected opinion regarding leather and other animal parts that are imported from non-Muslim countries?

If you think that the animal may have been slaughtered ritually, it is pure. But in case you are sure of its not having been ritually slaughtered, it is ruled to be najis.
