Use Of Animal Hides For Tents

Why did you not take off its skin and make use of that?

He said: Why did you not make use of it ? He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect but did not mention tanning.

The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the skins of the animals which had died a natural death should be used when they are tanned.

The only reason why he asked whether the whole of him should come in was because of the smallness of the tent

"A sheep of ours died, and we tanned its skin, and continued to make Nabidh in it until it wore out."

"The Prophet was asked about the hides of dead animals." He said: "Tanning it purifies it."

"The dead animal is purified by tanning it."

the Messenger of Allah ordered that the hides of dead animals be made use of if they had been tanned. (Daif)

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded that use should be made of the skins of dead animals, if they were tanned.”
