3611 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ لَيْثٍ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ: كَانَ لِبَعْضِ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَاةٌ، فَمَاتَتْ فَمَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ: «مَا ضَرَّ أَهْلَ هَذِهِ، لَوِ انْتَفَعُوا بِإِهَابِهَا»

Commentary
If an animal whose meat is lawful dies, its skin could be used after being tanned. Some scholars, based on Hadith 3609, are of the opinion that even the skin of those animals whose meat is unlawful becomes pure after having tanned. Some are of the opinion that the skin of the animals whose meat is forbidden does not become pure even if it is tanned.
