LessonsTanning, Purity of Hides and Parts of CarrionQuiz

إِلَّا جِلْدَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَالْآدَمِيِّ
Translation: Except the skin of the pig and the human being.

Human skin is excluded on grounds of human dignity: treating it for use as a material is impermissible. The rationale of human sanctity must not be confused with that of pig skin.
