Praying in fox skins

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Once Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saw a man praying in a cap lined with fox skins. He removed the cap from his head and said: "How do you know? Perhaps it was not slaughtered."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked praying in fox skins.

Sa'id bin Jubayr and al-Hasan said: Wear garments made of fox skins, but do not pray in them.

Al-Hasan saw no harm in garments made of fox skin, provided it had been tanned.

Amr bin Sa'id said: Once Abu al-Aliyah entered the mosque and led them in prayer, wearing a cap lined with fox skins. When he began the prayer he took the cap off and put it in his sleeve. When he had finished his prayer I said: Why did you take off your cap and put it in your sleeve? He said: I did not like to pray in it, nor did I like to put it down lest it be stolen, so I put it in my sleeve.

Abu Ja'far said: Ali bin al-Husayn had a sky-coloured garment made of fox skin. When he began to pray, he would take it off.
