Sahih al-Bukhari 5531 (Book 72, Hadith 56) #5306
Utilizing Dead Animal Hides

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that it is permissible to use the hide of a dead animal, even though eating it is prohibited.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: Once Allah's Messenger passed by a dead sheep and said (to the people), "Why don't you use its hide?" They said, "But it is dead," He said, "Only eating it, is prohibited".
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ مَيِّتَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هَلاَّ اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِإِهَابِهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا إِنَّهَا مَيِّتَةٌ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّمَا حَرُمَ أَكْلُهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas tells us about the teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding the use of dead animals. He passed by a dead sheep and asked why they were not using its hide. When they said that it was dead, he replied that only eating it was prohibited. This hadith teaches us that although consuming an animal after its death is forbidden, we can still make use of its other parts such as its skin or hide for clothing or other purposes. We should not waste any part of an animal and instead make full use of all resources available to us in order to be mindful and respectful towards God's creations.
