4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is undesirable to perform Salah (prayer) in fur except those made in al-Hijaz or that you know is properly slaughtered.’”

5. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ishaq al-‘Alaviy from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once said to abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), ‘I enter al-Suq (market place) of Muslims, meaning thereby these people who are called Muslims and buy from them fur for business purposes. I ask the owner, ‘Is it of properly slaughtered animals?’ He says, ‘Yes, it is of properly slaughtered animals.’ Can I sell it as that from properly slaughtered animals? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, you cannot do so; however, it is not an offense to sell it and say that the one from whom you purchased has said that it is from properly slaughtered animals.’ I then asked, ‘What has destroyed it?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is because people of Iraq consider dead animals as clean, thinking that tanning makes it lawful and it is its properly slaughtering and then they do not remain satisfied without saying that it is from the Messenger of Allah.’”

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya and others has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from ‘Asem ibn Humayd from Ali ibn al-Mighra’ who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of dead animals if any benefit thereby is permissible. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, there is no lawful benefit in it.’ I then said, ‘We are told that the Messenger of Allah once passed by the dead body of a goat and said, ‘What has happened to the owners of this goat? If they could not benefit from its flesh they could benefit from its skin.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘That goat belonged to Sawdah, daughter of Zam‘ah, wife of the Holy prophet. It was an emaciated ewe and its flesh was not useable, so they left until it died. Thus, the Holy prophet, said, ‘If the owners could not benefit from its flesh why did they not benefit from its skin after slaughtering it properly.’”

7. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Ash’ariy who has said the following: “Certain individuals of our people once wrote to abu Ja’far (a.s.), asking, ‘What do you say about fur purchased from al-Suq (marketplace)? He (the Imam) replied, ‘If it is (lawfully) guaranteed, then it is not an offense to buy it.’”
