It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a sheep died, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Its meat has been made forbidden to you, and you have been permitted (to use) its skin."
