Chapter on What is Permissible and Impermissible to Pray in - of Clothing and Place
عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْخَفَّافِ يَأْتِي اَلسُّوقَ فَيَشْتَرِي اَلْخُفَّ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ ذَكِيٌّ هُوَ أَمْ لاَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فِيهِ وَ هُوَ لاَ يَدْرِي أَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ أَنَا أَشْتَرِي اَلْخُفَّ مِنَ اَلسُّوقِ وَ يُصْنَعُ لِي وَ أُصَلِّي فِيهِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمُ اَلْمَسْأَلَةُ»
From him, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from Al-Ridha, peace be upon him, who said:
I asked Imam عليه السلام about leather socks, if a man goes to the market and buys leather socks without knowing whether the leather is from a lawfully slaughtered animal or not, what do you say about praying in them while he does not know? Should he pray in them? Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes. I buy leather socks from the market, and they are made for me, and I pray in them. And it is not obligatory upon you to ask."
