Isnad Criticism of the Narrative About Tanning Leather and Evaluation About the Usage of Pigskin

It is need to explain what is meant in the hadiths which states that it is possible to use animal skin (dibagat) through tanning it. Especially in the context of this hadith, the issue that whether tanning leathers' of animals which are prohibited to eat such as pigs makes them clean has become subject for discussions. Another subject is whether they become clean for clothing and textiles. In this study, firstly hadith narrations are analyzed whether they are authorized in terms of their isnads. Then related hadiths are examined within the context of the Qur'an and Sunnah. Even though the issue is not discussed within Islamic law, views of madhabs are also touched on. Based on the account and the textual analysis it is showed that the view that tanning of pigskin does not make it clean, so in any case it cannot be cleaned and used, except the case of high necessity.
