The questioner : His final question asks: Is it permissible to benefit from the skins, bones, and hair of a dead animal?
The Shaykh : If the dead animal is from a species that is permissible to slaughter, such as livestock.
The questioner : Meaning, is it edible?
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : If it is from an animal that is permissible to slaughter, such as livestock, then it is permissible to benefit from its skin, but only after tanning. The tanning that removes the stench and the foul odor renders this skin pure, and its use becomes permissible for everything, including items other than dry goods, according to the stronger opinion, because it becomes pure thereby, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As for if the skin is from an animal that is not permissible to slaughter, this is a matter of disagreement among the scholars, and Allah knows best.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
