The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : What did we mention? Parts of a dead animal. We said we spoke about hair, feathers, wool, and fleece, and we said that it is permissible to sell them if they are sheared.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : All right. We seek help from Allah. It means it must be explained. All right, first, every dead animal is excluded from the category of dead animals, what? Every dead animal whose eating is permissible, or every dead animal that is pure?

The Shaykh : Every dead animal whose eating is permissible. First, what is in the ruling of something that has been separated is excluded from the parts of a dead animal, such as hair, fleece, wool, feathers, and the like. This is permissible to sell because it is pure. So if a sheep belonging to a person dies and it has wool, and he shears it and sells it, there is no blame on him. Second, on the stronger opinion, the skin is excluded from that, because the skin can be purified, so it is like a garment that has become ritually impure. It was also said that it is not excluded because it is a part of the parts of a dead animal, so it is ritually impure. Then we do not know whether the one who bought it will tan it and purify it or not? And this opinion is more cautious, and the first is more established: as long as it can be purified and benefited from, it is permissible to sell it. And you have known that the school of thought is that the skin of a dead animal is not purified by tanning, and that it is not permissible to sell it either, even if it is tanned, because it is not used except for dry things. All right.
