The benefit of a dead animal’s fat and the hadith of cursing the Jews
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The presenter: May Allah reward you. You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that it is permissible to benefit from the fat of a dead animal. How is that? Does not the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the cursing of the Jews when they benefited from the fat of a dead animal contradict this ruling?
Answer:
The Shaykh: The Jews were cursed because they rendered it, sold it, and ate its price. So the curse is for selling it and eating its price. As for using it for lighting, that is not selling, nor is it eating the price.
