Building a permanent shrine and the like with the proceeds of the sacrificial hide

Question

Question: Is it permissible to use the hide of the sacrificial animal for building the shrine of one’s spiritual guide or of some saintly person, or for building a permanent (brick-built) grave and a dome for one’s relatives?

Answer
