Wearing fur

Sayyar reports concerning al-Sha'bi that he was asked about (wearing) fur garments. He said: "The softest of them is the one I like best."

It is narrated from Ibn Awn, who said: I saw Ibrahim wearing a wide-sleeved fur garment.

It is narrated from Abu Kubran, who said: I saw him wearing a wide-sleeved fur garment.

Mujahid said: Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw a fur garment on a man and its softness pleased him. He said: "If I knew that this was from a properly slaughtered animal, it would please me to have a garment made of it."

It is narrated from Thabit, who said: I was sitting with Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Layla when a big man with two braids came to him. He said to Ibn Abi Layla: "O Abu Isa!" He said: "Yes." He said: "Tell me what you have heard about fur garments." He said: I heard my father say: I was sitting in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! May I pray in a fur garment?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where has the tanning gone?"

It is narrated from Muhammad and Nafi' that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) told someone from her household: "When you pray, take off your fur garment."

It is narrated from Ibn Jabr, who said: I saw Sa'id bin Jubayr wearing a wide-sleeved fur garment. He said: "I have worn this garment only so that it may be seen on me, or he said: so that I may be asked about this garment."

Qatadah reports concerning Sa'id bin al-Musayyib that he said about garments made from the hides of dead animals: "I would love to have a soft garment made of that hide, and to wear it."

It is narrated from al-Sha'bi, who said: I went out with Abu Wa'il until we reached the sellers of fur garments, and Abu Wa'il bought a garment. The (seller of the) garment said: "O Abu Wa'il, let me tell you something more: this is pure (from the hide of a properly slaughtered animal)." Abu Wa'il said: "It would not please me to buy what you have said, even for one qirat."

Abu Husayn said: And Ibrahim used to say that.

And Sa'id bin Jubayr used to say that.
