[814] 106 - (...) Abû Al-Khair said: "I saw Ibn Wa'lah As-Sabâ'î wearing an animal pelt and I touched it. He said: 'Why did you touch it (do you think it is impure)? I asked 'Abdullâh bin 'Abbâs: 'We live in the west and with us there are Berbers and Zoroastrians who bring us a ram that they have slaughtered, and we do not eat of the meat they slaughter. And they bring us skins in which they put fat.' Ibn 'Abbâs said: 'We asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about that and he said: 'Its tanning is its purification.'"
