It is narrated from Hazrat Maymunah that her freed slave woman had a dead goat—which had been given to her from charity—when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by her. He said: "Why did they not remove the skin of this goat, tan it, and then benefit from it?" The people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! It is dead." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Its eating is forbidden only."
