LessonsTanning, Purity of Hides and Parts of CarrionQuiz

Malik treats carrion hair as pure but its bones as impure. The Maliki view therefore differs from both the broader Hanafi purity view and the Shafi‘i impurity view.

In summary: Hanafi—both pure subject to qualifications; Shafi‘i—both impure; Maliki—hair pure, bones impure. The disagreement turns on the legal characterization of the different parts.
