Eating skin

Question

What is the ruling on eating skin? Skin remains attached to the head (of the animal); some people singe off the hair, clean the hair away, cut pieces together with the skin and eat them. Is this permissible or not?

Answer

If the skin of an animal whose meat is permissible to eat is eaten together with the meat, there is no harm in it; it is in order.
