Using products of Pig Fat
Question asked by Nauman Ilyas.
Posted on: Friday, November 19, 2004 - Hits: 3929


Question:
Can we use foreign products having glycerin derived from animal fat - possibly, pig fat - like soap and shampoos?

Answer:
The Shari'ah has clearly prohibited eating flesh of swine. However, the question you ask pertains to Ijtihaad, for the fat of the animal is processed before it is used in the making of glycerin, or any other such end products. The body parts of such animals have been declared haraam by the Shari'ah only for eating purposes; their use in any other way cannot objected to thus. So, I believe, one may use soaps and shampoos, even while they contain glycerin from pig fat, given that they are not used as edibles.
