The Rule Regarding Hides That Become Pure Through Tanning
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the rule regarding hides that become pure after tanning?
The Shaykh:
The rule, and Allah knows best, is that the hide of an animal whose meat is eaten becomes pure through tanning, while the hide of an animal whose meat is not eaten does not become pure. This is a specific ruling of the Imam in order to unite the people under the authority of the one in command, to bring the people together and prevent division. This has a consideration, which is preventing division. However, the person should repeat the prayer; he prays behind him outwardly so that there is no division against the ruler, and he repeats the prayer privately for himself. Yes. Ibn Muslim said, yes.
