Summary
Bones and horns from a halal animal that was slaughtered according to Islamic law are pure and may be used as ornaments. If the horns or bones were taken while the animal was still alive, they are impure because they count as carrion. For animals whose meat is forbidden, other than dogs and pigs, the bones are regarded as impure and using them as ornaments is disliked (makruh) but not forbidden.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tulang atau tanduk haiwan yang telah disembelih adalah suci dan halal untuk dijadikan perhiasan sekiranya haiwan tersebut adalah haiwan yang halal dimakan dagingnya disisi syarak.
