"I used to forbid you to store the meat of the sacrifices for more than three days so that there would be enough for everyone.

"A man called out to the Prophet and said: 'We used to sacrifice the 'Atirah - i.e., during the Jahiliyyah - in Rajab; what do you command us to do?'

"The Prophet said: 'The dead animal is purified by tanning it."'

some men of Quraish passed by the Messenger of Allah dragging a sheep the size of a donkey. He said to them: "Why don't you take its skin?" They said: "It is dead meat." The Messenger of Allah said: "Purify it with water and Qaraz."
