The Sale of the Pig
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: I work in a warehouse that sells building materials. Among the items sold in the warehouse are brushes for oil-based paint, and these brushes are made from pig hair. Is it permissible to buy and sell them, given that they are not made from pig meat? Please note that there is no alternative to them in the Kingdom, and they cannot be dispensed with for the purpose of painting. May Allah reward you with good.
A: The pig is ritually impure in its essence, so it is not permissible to benefit from any part of it. Its hair is part of it, so it is not permissible to sell it or use it in any form. In the lawful materials that Allah has made permissible, there is sufficient provision without it.
