The ruling on using the skin of an edible animal for dry goods and water
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It renders them impure, but the correct view, as you have heard, is that if it is from an animal that is edible in terms of zakah, then, with Allah’s permission, it may be used for dry goods and for water. What is the reason for the preference of dislike regarding the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) statement:Bulugh al-Maram 96?
Answer:
Because this falls under the category of etiquette. They say that in matters of etiquette, commands are understood as recommendations and prohibitions as obligations. If a matter is one of general etiquette, then the prohibition in it is understood as an obligation and the command in it as a recommendation.
