The ruling on using snake skin for adornment and bags

Question:
What is the ruling on using snake skin? Perhaps he means for adornment and bags and the like.

Answer:
The scholars differed regarding what tanning purifies:
Some held that tanning purifies all skins: snakes, bears, wolves, and others. They cited as evidence the hadith: , , .
Others said: It is specific to what is particularly edible meat. They said: And the term *ihab* in language, as al-Nadr ibn Shumayl said: "Ihab: the skin of that whose meat is eaten specifically." And they said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . This indicates that tanning only affects that in which slaughter is beneficial, unlike bears, tigers, dogs, and foxes. These are forbidden, so just as they are forbidden, their skins are likewise not purified by tanning.
So the situation is one of doubt, and the stronger view is that tanning only affects the skins of carrion; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the people when he said: , and when he saw a woman with a dead sheep, he said: , he said: ; this indicates that the intended meaning is: what relates to animals whose skins become impure by death, which are camels, cattle, and the like. As for those that are originally foul and impure: like foxes, bears, tigers, and dogs; tanning does not affect these, they remain on their original state of impurity.
This is the most cautious and stronger view in terms of evidence, and the issue, as I told you, is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars.
