Fath al-Rabbani

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), he says: Sayyida Sawda bint Zam‘a (may Allah be pleased with her) had a goat that died. She said: “O Messenger of Allah! Such-and-such goat has died.” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Why did you not remove its skin?” She said: “How can we remove the skin of a dead goat?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Allah the Exalted has said: «قُلْ لَآ اَجِدُ فِیْ مَآ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ مُحَرَّمًا عَلٰی طَاعِمٍ یَّطْعَمُہٗٓ اِلَّآ اَنْ یَّکُوْنَ مَیْتَۃً اَوْ دَمًا مَّسْفُوْحًا اَوْ لَحْمَ خِنْزِیْرٍ» (Say: I do not find, in what has been revealed to me, anything forbidden to an eater who wishes to eat it, except it be carrion, or blood poured forth, or the flesh of swine...) (Al-An‘am: 145). So indeed, you are not going to eat its skin, but if you tan it, you can benefit from it.” So she sent a servant (to bring the goat), and they removed its skin, tanned it, and made a water bag from it, (and she continued to use it) until it finally tore while it was still with her.
