The Shaykh : What carrion is pure, like that of a human?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Like that of a human?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Like that of a human? We have already pointed this out. We received this same answer that I mentioned and pointed out, that it is not valid.
The questioner : ... it is not ... .
The Shaykh : So, is it permissible to sell a human because its carrion is pure?
The questioner : No ... .
The Shaykh : Glory be to Allah, how did you forget this, even though we pointed it out? I mean, it did not come in the explanation like this, just thrown out there. Come on, Khalid?
The questioner : The carrion that is edible.
The Shaykh : Correct. What is not edible carrion, in order to exclude the carrion of a human and the carrion of that which has no flowing soul, such as insects, is that it is pure, and yet it is not permissible to sell it. Good. And is there anything else that is an exception from the carrion itself, meaning from the parts of the carrion? Salim?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The exception to that, according to the stronger opinion, is the skin if it is tanned. This is one. Mahjub? What else is an exception from the carrion?
The questioner : The skin of the carrion, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : No, the carrion. Now, the carrion in my case is a dead sheep; it is not permissible for me to sell it. What is the exception from the parts of the carrion? The brother Salim said the skin if it is tanned, and this is according to the stronger opinion, not according to the school of thought.
The questioner : The parts that separate, such as hair and teeth.

The questioner : The parts that separate, such as hair and teeth.
The Shaykh : Well done. The things that separate, such as hair, feathers, and nails, if they can be sold, it is permissible for them to be sold after being cut off. Good. What do you say about selling locusts, O Hani, when they are dead?
The questioner : It is permissible, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Why is it permissible when it is dead?
The questioner : Because it is from that which is eaten.
The Shaykh : Because it is from that which is eaten. Good.
