It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a dead goat. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Why did you not benefit from its skin?" The people said, "O Messenger of Allah, it is dead." He said, "Its eating is forbidden, (but) its skin can be purified by tanning."
