Are the bones of a dead animal pure?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : The bones have become pure, and this is the choice of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). One also argues from the generality of:
Only the eating of the dead animal is forbidden إنما حرم من الميتة أكلها
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 1:81
.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : ... But we mentioned the words of Shaykh al-Islam.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : We did not prefer one over the other, as we told you previously, that a person presents the opinions of the scholars and is not obligated to make a preference.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : And in my heart, there is something about it, that everything that is slaughtered becomes pure.

The questioner : Even if it is eaten?

The Shaykh : Even if it is eaten, but Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) is very lenient in permitting animals, to the point that there are two narrations regarding the dog: dislike, and I think prohibition. He is lenient (may Allah have mercy on him), and the truth is what the Book and the Sunnah indicate.
