The ruling on using pig oil for a lamp
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to use pig oil for a lamp, or to use it as a combustible substance?
Answer:
This is ritually impure in itself. They said that impure oil is not considered impure; impure oil is permissible to use for lighting in other than the mosque. This is the impure oil whose original state is pure and into which impurity has fallen. They said it is permissible to use it for lighting in other than the mosque. As for that which is impure in itself, namely pig oil, no, this is not permissible. This must be rendered useless. Yes.
