بَابٌ فِي عَدْمِ جَوَازِ الْانْتِفَاعِ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ وَلَا عَصَبٍ وَالْجَمْعِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَحَادِيثِ الْجَوَازِChapter on the Prohibition of Benefiting from a Dead Animal’s Skin or Nerves and Reconciling This with the Hadiths Permitting It
Hadith 431
اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ خَامِسٍ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قُرِيءَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ((أَنْ لَا تَسْتَمْتِعُوا مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ بِإِهَابٍ وَلَا عَصَبٍ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Ukeem Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) says: This letter from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was read to us: "Do not benefit from the skin and tendons of carrion."
Brief Explanation
Benefits: ... "Ihaab" refers to that hide which has not been tanned. It is not permissible to benefit from such a hide of a dead animal. However, when it is tanned, it becomes pure, and at that point, it is no longer called "ihaab."
