The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that the skins of dead animals be put to use once they had been tanned.
أخبرنا إسحق بن إبراهيم قال أنبأنا بشر بن عمر قال حدثنا مالك ح والحارث بن مسكين قراءة عليه وأنا أسمع عن ابن القاسم قال حدثني مالك عن يزيد بن عبد الله بن قسيط عن محمد بن عبد الرحمن بن ثوبان عن أمه
أن رسول الله ﷺ أمر أن يستمتع بجلود الميتة إذا دبغت
[Its chain of transmission is daif] Recorded by Abu Dawud, chapter on clothing, section on the hides of dead animals, no. 4124, from the hadith of Malik through this route, and it is found in Muwatta (Yahya): 2/498, and in Kubra, no. 4578.His statement "from his father" is a mistake, and the correct version is "from his mother," who is the mother of Muhammad. No one credited her as trustworthy except Ibn Hibban, and Athram said she was not known (Jawhar Naqi: 1/17).
