Hadith 20

وَعَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ رَضِيَ الْلَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: { مَرَّ رَسُولُ الْلَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-بِشَاةٍ يَجُرُّونَهَا، فَقَالَ: "لَوْ أَخَذْتُمْ إِهَابَهَا؟" فَقَالُوا: إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةٌ، فَقَالَ: "يُطَهِّرُهَا الْمَاءُ وَالْقَرَظُ" } أَخْرَجَهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَالنَّسَائِيُّ 1‏ .‏ ‏1 ‏- صحيح.‏ رواه أبو داود (4126)‏، والنسائي (774‏-175)‏، وله ما يشهد له.‏

English — Translation & Brief Tafsir

Translation: Narrated by Maimunah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a sheep that people were dragging. He said, “Why don’t you take its hide?” They replied, “It is dead (a carcass).” He said, “Water and qaradh (a tanning agent) purify it.” (Sunan Abū Dâwūd, Sunan an-Nasa'î)

Tafsir (summary): Although the meat of a carcass (maytah) is impermissible to eat, the Prophet ﷺ taught that its hide can be purified through tanning (dibagh) using water and natural agents like qaradh. The process removes ritual impurity from the skin so it may be used for leather goods (bags, mats, shoes, etc.). This ruling reflects Islam’s practical wisdom: preventing waste while maintaining rules of purity. Majority jurists (Hanafi, Shafi‘i, Hanbali) accept that tanning purifies hides (except pig skin); Maliki views are more restrictive.

Hausa — Fassara da Taƙaitaccen Tafsir

Fassara: An rawaito daga Maimuna (RA): Manzon Allah (SAW) ya wuce kusa da wata rago da mutane ke ja. Ya ce, “Me ya sa ba ku ɗauki fatar ta ba?” Suka ce, “Ta mutu.” Sai Annabi (SAW) ya ce, “Ruwa da qaradh (ganye na acacia, abin dibagh - bagaruwa) suna tsarkake ta.” (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sunan an-Nasa'î)

Tafsir (taƙaitacce): Kodayake naman matacciyar dabba haramun ne a ci, wannan hadisi yana koyar da cewa fatar dabba za a iya tsarkake ta ta hanyar dibagh (tsabtace fata) ta amfani da ruwa da qaradh. Bayan tsabtacewa, ana iya amfani da fatar wajen yin kayan fata. Wannan hukunci yana hana ɓata, yana nuna sauƙin shari'a. Mafi yawan malamai suna cewa dibagh yana tsarkake fata (sai fatar alade wadda Qur'ani ya haramta gaba ɗaya); Maliki na ɗaukar wasu ƙuntatawa.

Practical notes / Lura:

• Most leather items today are considered permissible if the hide was properly tanned; avoid pig-skin products if you want to be cautious.
• The hadith illustrates the distinction between food purity (meat) and material purity (hide) in Islamic law.
• For detailed fiqh rulings or local manufacturing questions, consult a qualified scholar or trusted mufti.
