The Ruling on Selling and Using Ivory
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other matters, may Allah protect you. What is the ruling on using the dry horns of animals whose owners do not slaughter them for meat, from which ivory is taken? Is it sold or not?
Answer:
There is no harm. Ivory is not from the horns; this is from the tusk, the elephant’s tusk. This is the elephant’s tusk, and there is no harm in it, because life does not flow through it. It is among the parts through which life does not flow, such as the back, the horn, the hair, and the feathers. Yes.
