1297. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh narrated that during the Year of the Conquest, while he was in Makkah, he heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: “Indeed Allāh and His
Messenger made unlawful the sale of wine, dead carcasses, the pig, and idols.” They said: “O Messenger of Allāh! What about the fat of carcasses? For indeed it is used to coat the ships, skins are oiled with it, and people use it for lamps?” He said: “No. It is unlawful.” Then, with that, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “May Allāh fight (curse) the Jews! Indeed Allāh made the fat unlawful for them, they melted it, sold it, and consumed its price.” (Sahih)
[He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Umar and Ibn ‘Abbās.
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Jābir is a Hasan Sahih Hadīth. This is acted upon according to the people of knowledge.

Commentary
Unlawfulness of the sale of dead carcasses, pigs and idols is unanimously agreed upon. According to three A'imma Mālik, Ahmad, and Shāfi'i dead carcasses and wine are unlawful due to their filthiness; therefore, the sale of anything filthy is unlawful and strictly prohibited.
