This is probably not known to many but as muslims i think its important we all know about this. when a pig skin is used for something it will always leave a mark that its from pigs. The mark is three dots in a line. There are many shoes these days which are made using pig skin (probably because its cheap to make using it) . I dont know about men shoes but i know alot of female shoes have them these days. For example in primark ive seen with my owns eyes that majority of the shoes have these three dots and not many people know about it. It quiet disgusting knowing your wearing pig skin on your feet. Mostly the sole has it and soemtimes the sides bits aswell. Heres a picture of some shoes i bought and when i came home i realised they had the three dots unfotunatly.

Salaam sister. Good news, the shoes in primark are not made of pig skin leather unless it says that it is leather. People are now using the pig skin look to make the shoe look expensive. That's why they are so cheap. The whole shoe is made of rubber but given the look of leather  

@Admin, many images are not visible (they are from the blog section)

Disappointingly enough, majority of shoes I've checked in primark do have pig skin insoles, and I don't mean the slippers, sandles etc....check this thread sister, the skin is easy to recognize once you know what to look out for.

No it's not.

If you take a look at the label, it clearly shows that it is made from synthetic material.

The material is made to look like pig skin but in fact is not. They can't afford to sell pig skin at that price as I've found out the pig skin is expensive. See images posted on the top of this page, the symbols are pretty clear that this is synthetic material and not leather. The logo for leather is different.

Hope that helps.

I HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS REGARDING MY POSTS IN THIS SECTION. I DID A LITTLE BIT MORE INVESTIGATING TO FIND THAT PIG SKIN AS WELL AS RUBBER IS USED IN CLOTHING PRODUCTS. IF THE PRODUCTS HAVE THE SIGNS OF BEING PIG SKIN, YOU THEN NEED TO DETERMINE WETHER OR NOT IT IS LEATHER. BECAUSE, RUBBER IS ALSO USED AND GIVEN THE SAME EFFECT AS A LEATHER LOOK. SO THE ITEM YOU ARE BUYING MAY JUST BE RUBBER. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN INVESTIGATIONS AND PLEASE "DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT". SEE THE TWO ATTACHED IMAGES WHICH CLEARLY SHOW RUBBER AND LEATHER BELOW AND ON THE NEXT PAGE

Real leather, synthetic materials and rubber.

Although the label says synthetic....it would still completely put me off, the synthetic skin looks and feels identical to pig skin...ok I understand it's not pig skin because of label....but I couldn't even possibly wear anything that's imitating pig skin....ewww! to just the thought of it.

Informative though, Jazakallah for clarifying it's allowed.

Do you think they would label incorrectly for financial gain....because to me it doesn't even look and feel like imitation but seems like the real thing...but then again im no real expert.

I don't think so. The laws in this country wouldn't allow deception of this kind, yes if it was politics, that's a different case.

The whole point of imitation is to look identical.

I have actually peeled one of these in-soles and split it in half. The top half was rubber and the base was some kind of polystyrene mixed with thousands of shredded strings.

So in these shoes below, you can clearly see what part is rubber, synthetic or leather.

Those who are keen on a watch that has leather straps, you can replace the straps insha'Allah. Some watches are just worth it.

O. I was just searching... How did I ever end up in this back corner of the internet. What a weird freaks how of future tech and antique mysticism. Too bad you grew up in a place w such beliefs. And too bad for the western worlds beliefs as well. At least your spiritual. If only it was something like...u respect pigs. Or respect and sympathize w something. Something respectable and helpful for life in earth. But you're looking in your shoes or worried about someone else's shoes. Give it a rest and find something to help us.
