Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for us to use the wool, hair, feathers, or down found in a dead animal?

Answer:
Yes, the thing that is considered detached, such as nails, horns, hair, and the feathers of a bird, is permissible to use, because this is considered detached. They say that life does not revive it, that life does not revive it, and it is not described as dead. It is permissible to benefit from it. Also, the skin, if it is from a dead animal that is edible, such as camels, cattle, or sheep that have died, it is permissible to take their skins, tan them, and benefit from them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a sheep belonging to Maimunah being dragged while dead, being dragged while dead. He said, "Why did you not take its hide and benefit from it?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is carrion." He said, "Water and qirz purify it," meaning tanning.
