The jurisprudential issues in which two sides were mentioned by the Shafi’is in the book Al-Bayan by Al-Omrani T (558) AH Dead skins and what they are tanned with (a comparative study)

Abstract

The Holy Qur’an is considered an integrated constitution by itself, which is the solid foundation, and each of its verses is in itself a method for calling and reforming.

In my research, I dealt with the issue of (tanning the skins of dead animals) from the book Al-Bayan by Al-Amrani, may God Almighty have mercy on him (d. 558 AH), and the basis for the issue of tanning leather is referred to the Holy Qur’an and interpreted by the purified Sunnah of the Prophet

The Almighty said: (Say: I do not find in what has been revealed to me a forbidden thing for a eater to eat unless it is dead animals, or blood spilled out, or the flesh of pork. Verily, it is an abomination or disobedience committed to other than Allah. So whoever is forced without rebellion or rebellion, then your Lord is Forgiving, Merciful).

The verse indicates in its content the sanctity of the dead animal in general, but it is excluded from it that is slaughtered, so the collection of its parts is pure, its flesh, bone, and skin, and this purity is only by using tanners. B Anything that has grip and strength to remove the waste present in the skin.

Therefore, I decided to write a brief summary of the life of Imam Al-Amrani - may God Almighty have mercy on him - and then mentioned the issues in which he mentioned two aspects of him - may God have mercy on him - and this is It necessitates deep research in the rulings contained in tanning, based in my study on the Holy Qur’an and the noble Sunnah, and then mentioning the opinions of the jurists - may God have mercy on them - and their evidence to reach the most correct opinion on these issues.
