Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Is it okay to wear animal clothes or shoes? Example: Swede or Leather?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Jazak'allah for your question. This is an issue of fiqh [jurisprudence]. Suede and Leather can be worn as it must be and usually is; sterilised first. However if other clothes [non-animal skin] are available then it is preferable to wear those.
