805 - وَ سَأَلَ سَمَاعَةُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ لُحُومِ اَلسِّبَاعِ مِنَ اَلطَّيْرِ وَ اَلدَّوَابِّ قَالَ «أَمَّا أَكْلُ لَحْمِهَا فَإِنَّا نَكْرَهُهُ وَ أَمَّا اَلْجُلُودُ فَارْكَبُوا عَلَيْهَا وَ لاَ تَلْبَسُوا مِنْهَا شَيْئاً تُصَلُّونَ فِيهِ.
Hadith.805 - Sama’a ibn Mehran asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
regarding eating the meat of wild animals, including birds and other beasts.
Imam responded, "As for eating their meat, we dislike it, but as for their skins, you may use them to ride on but do not wear anything made from them for prayer."
