This arrangement is considered an even greater invalidation (ablagh fi al-fasad). The hide of a dead animal is impure (najis) and it is unlawful to sell it. Additionally, the carcass ceases to be property upon death. If the action is performed, the laborer is entitled only to the customary wage (ajr mithl).
