Q. I bought a pair of gloves and realized that they are made of pigskin with an acrylic lining.
Can I wear these even though I will be deriving pleasure from a pig? Is this the same as snake skin or alligator shoes or purses?
A. There is no prohibition on deriving benefit from non-kosher animals. It is also permitted to wear them during food preparation.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a
