Is a house wall painted with a brush suspected to be made of pig bristles considered impure, and are acts of worship invalid if one touches it?

Summary
Using or benefiting from any part of a pig is forbidden, except in necessity and only to the extent required. However, a brush merely feared to be made of pig bristles is a matter of doubt only, and certainty is not removed by doubt, so the doubt should be set aside and the wall treated as pure in its original state. It is preferable to replace the brush with one known to be permissible for painting the remaining areas.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Daripada nas-nas di atas jelas kepada kita bahawa hukum menggunakan dan mengambil manfaat daripada mana-mana bahagian tubuh khinzir adalah haram sama sekali.
