A sheep belonging to Sawda bint Zama died, so she said, "Messenger of Allah, so-and-so has died," meaning the sheep.He said, "Why didn't you take its skin?"She replied, "Should we take the skin of a sheep that has died?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, "Allah only said, 'Say, I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden for one to eat except that it be carrion, or blood spilled out, or the flesh of swine' [Anam 6:145]. You will not be eating it. If you tan it, you can make use of it."So she sent for the sheep, skinned it, tanned its hide, and made a waterskin from it, which she continued to use until it wore out.
حدثنا عفان حدثنا أبو عوانة عن سماك عن عكرمة
ماتت شاة لسودة بنت زمعة فقالت يا رسول الله ماتت فلانة يعني الشاة فقال فلولا أخذتم مسكها فقالت نأخذ مسك شاة قد ماتت فقال لها رسول الله ﷺ إنما قال الله عز وجل {قل لا أجد فيما أوحي إلي محرما على طاعم يطعمه إلا أن يكون ميتة أو دما مسفوحا أو لحم خنزير} فإنكم لا تطعمونه إن تدبغوه فتنتفعوا به فأرسلت إليها فسلخت مسكها فدبغته فأخذت منه قربة حتى تخرقت عندها
