[Machine] "Hanbali (Maymuna’s slave) carried a dead sheep while the Prophet ﷺ was passing. The Prophet ﷺ asked, 'What will the family of this sheep do if they take its hide and tan it in order to benefit from it?' They replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, it's already dead.' He said, 'Only its consumption is prohibited.'"

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِشَاةٍ لِمَوْلَاةٍ لِمَيْمُونَةَ مَيْتَةٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَا عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ لَوْ أَخَذُوا إِهَابَهَا فَدَبَغُوهُ فَانْتَفَعُوا بِهِ؟» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهَا مَيْتَةُ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا حُرِّمَ أَكْلُهَا»

Why did you not take off its skin? You could put it to use, after tanning it. They (the Companions) said: It was dead. Upon, this he (the Messenger of Allah) said: Only its eating is prohibited.
