Chapter. When the skin is tanned, it is purified

 Yazid bin Abu Habib reported that Abul-Khair told him: I saw Ibn Wa´lah As-Saba´i wearing a fur. I touched it. He said: ´´Why do you touch it?´´ (I replied that) I asked ´Abdullah bin ´Abbas: ´´When we go to Morroco, we mix with Berbers and Magians. They bring us rams which they slaughter, but we do not eat (the meat of the animals) slaughtered by themm and they bring us skins full of fat.´´ Upon this Ibn ´abbas said: ´´We asked the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam about this and he said: ´Its tanning purifies it.´´´
