Commentary

Spreading the skin of a leopard on the saddle of a horse and riding on it is prohibited. Since it shows pride and also it is the manner of non-Muslims. There is no benefit in hunting beasts of prey because their meat is not eaten. Killing them merely out of pride to use their skin is an act of injustice. Killing the beasts of prey that are dangerous for the lives or property of human beings is allowed.
