Skinning a Slaughtered Animal before It Has Gone Cold

Question

Question: Immediately after an animal is slaughtered, before it has gone cold, its hide is pulled off at once; the knife is sharpened in front of the animal to be slaughtered; and one animal is slaughtered in front of another. What is the ruling on this?

Answer

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade this; it is an oppression (zulm) of animals.
