Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding tanning, does it purify all skins?
The Shaykh: All of them, yes.
The questioner : According to the correct and explicit view.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Even the skins of predatory animals.
The Shaykh : Even the skins of predatory animals, even the pig.
The questioner : Ibn Taymiyyah excludes the skins of predatory animals.
The Shaykh : And the pig, is that from a different category?
The questioner : The hair of the pig without tanning.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Without tanning.
The Shaykh : The hair?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And the hair of predatory animals?
The questioner : As for the skin, he says that the skins of predatory animals are not to be prayed upon or sat upon, because of the hadith where he prohibited the *miyathar* or something like that.
The Shaykh : Yes, and wearing the skins of predatory animals... the skins of predatory animals.
The questioner : The predator, it seems he singles it out from among them all; I was surprised.
The Shaykh : But that is a separate issue that has no relation to impurity and purity; it has no relation to impurity and purity, like a silk garment, for example, in which one does not pray and upon which one does not pray, not because of its impurity.
The questioner : No, because the prohibition is explicit.
The Shaykh : This and that are from the same category.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: All of them, yes.
The questioner : According to the correct and explicit view.
The Shaykh: Yes.
