QUESTION:

 I have a question regarding wearing a leather belt during prayer, I was 
 wondering what is the Fatwa for different Maraje'?
 

ANSWER:

Salaamun 'Alaykum

 The Maraji' have generally ruled that wearing things like leather belts in
 salat is not allowed if the leather is not slaughtered in an Islamic way.
 
 See Islamic Laws of Ayatullah Seestani's tawdhihu'l Masa'il p. 160
 
 Allah knows best
