<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br> 1) It is not permissible to wear fur made from the skin of leopards or any predator. The reason is that the savage nature of these animals impacts those who wear them. It is also prohibited to sit or ride on such skin.<br> 2) It is prohibited to ride on saddles made of silk, for it denotes arrogance and extravagance, which is forbidden.<br> 3) We are prohibited from imitating the people of luxury, immorality, and tyranny. Indeed, a person is affected by those he imitates.<br> 4) The Shariah cares about outward guidance, given the correlation between the outward and the inward.
