وَٱلْأَنْعَـٰمَ خَلَقَهَا ۗ لَكُمْ فِيهَا دِفْءٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

Translation

He (Allaah) also created livestock. In them is warmth for you (when you use their skins for clothing), many other benefits (such as transport and labour) and you even eat (some) of them.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

From the hair or wool and the like of some of them, blankets, warm wraps, tents and canopies, and various kinds of clothing to protect against the cold are made. Besides this, the milk of some is drunk, and others are yoked to the plough.
