Chapter on What is Permissible to Pray in, from Clothing and Place, and What is Not Permissible to Pray in, from That
وَ بِهَذَا اَلْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ لِبَاسِ اَلْفِرَاءِ وَ اَلصَّلاَةِ فِيهَا فَقَالَ« لاَ تُصَلِّ فِيهَا إِلاَّ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ ذَكِيّاً» قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ وَ لَيْسَ اَلذَّكِيُّ مَا ذُكِّيَ بِالْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ «بَلَى إِذَا كَانَ مِمَّا يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ» فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا لاَ يُؤْكَلُ لَحْمُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ اَلْغَنَمِ قَالَ« لاَ بَأْسَ بِالسِّنْجَابِ فَإِنَّهُ دَابَّةٌ لاَ تَأْكُلُ اَللَّحْمَ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ مِمَّا نَهَى عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ إِذْ نَهَى عَنْ كُلِّ ذِي نَابٍ أَوْ مِخْلَبٍ»
With this same chain of transmission, from Muhammad ibn Sulayman, from Ali ibn Abi Hamzah who said:
I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام about wearing fur garments and praying in them. Imam عليه السلام said: "Do not pray in them except in what has been ritually slaughtered." I asked: "Isn’t dhakiyy what is slaughtered with iron (a blade)?" Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, if it is from that which its meat is eaten." So I asked: "What about what is not eaten from animals other than sheep?" Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no problem with (wearing) squirrel (al-sinjab), for it is a creature that does not eat meat, and it is not from those things which the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, peace be upon him and his family, prohibited when He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم prohibited all animals with fangs or talons."
