Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Some people make ornaments from animal bones, such as elephant tusks and others. Is it permissible to buy and sell them?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm. The bones that contain things like an elephant’s tusk, from which they make ivory, which is a valuable item and they put it in ornaments, there is no meaning to this, and this is in the ruling of what is detached. It is permissible to take a piece from a carcass, because it is in the ruling of what is detached. The tusk is in the ruling of what is detached. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says:
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible to take its hair and wool? It is permissible to take its tusks. Yes.
