Benefits of the Hadith (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a sheep that they were dragging...)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And among the benefits of Maimunah’s hadith: The Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) eagerness to preserve wealth and not waste it, where he offered them—what?—to tan the skin of this carrion so that they could benefit from it. And for this reason he said: .
And among the benefits of the hadith: Maimunah’s hadith shows the good manner of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) invitation, where he did not take the matter into his own hands by taking it, because he knew that they had only left it out of disgust for it, so they had a kind of excuse. And for this reason he offered them the matter by saying, “What if you took its hide?”
And among the benefits of the hadith as well: That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) did not know the unseen. Let us look at this benefit, for their saying, “It is carrion.” Is it correct to take this cause from the hadith because the Companions informed him? There is consideration in this, but it contains evidence for the permissibility of debating a scholar whom one fears may have missed something, and of alerting him. This is not considered disparaging him, nor is it considered bad manners from the one who debated him. The evidence for this is their saying, “It is carrion,” when he said, “What if you took its hide?” And this was an offer for them to take it. They said, “It is carrion, how can we take it?”
And among the benefits of this hadith: That tanning the skin of carrion purifies it, for his saying:. And branching from that is that it is permissible to use it for dry things and liquids, for milk, for broth, and for everything. If someone asks: Is it obligatory for me, if I bring milk from a tanned carrion skin container, to inform the one I am giving it to? Or is it not obligatory?
The student: It is not obligatory.
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Okay, even if you knew that if he knew about it, he would not drink it?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : It appears so, even if you knew, because that does not harm him. I do not fear for him anything that would be harmful to him. Its equivalent is what passed us in the issue of the fly. If a fly falls into a drink and you dip it and take it out, then you present it to a person to drink, and you know that this person, if he knew that a fly had fallen in it, would not drink it, is it obligatory to inform him?
The student: No.
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory, as long as the thing does not harm, then it is not obligatory, because he only finds it disgusting if he knows about it, and if he does not know, the matter is natural.
