The ruling on selling dead Animals

Question :

Is it permissible for a person to sell a dead animal to someone else and request money for it?

Answer:

Dead animals (i.e., that have not been slaughtered for eating) are forbidden due to Allâh's Statement:
"Dead animals (i.e., that have not been slaughtered for eating) are forbidden for you."

Since they are forbidden, it is not permissible to sell them or buy them and their price is forbidden. It is not permissible for a person to eat of them except in the case of absolute necessity. For verily, when Allâh mentioned the forbidden things in Surat Al-Maa'idah and among them is the dead animals he said after that:
"But whoever is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin, then surely Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

However, excluded from this are dead locusts and dead fish. There is no harm in selling them because Allâh allowed both the fish and the locusts, whether living or dead. This is due to Allâh's Statement:
"Lawful to you is (the pursuit of) water-game and its use for food- for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel."

Also, there is the Prophet's statement concerning the sea:
"Its water is pure and its dead animals are lawful."

This is also due to what is reported from him that he said:
"Two dead animals are lawful for us (to eat) and two (types of) blood. In reference to the two dead animals, they are the locust and the fish, and the two (types of) blood are the liver and the spleen."
