Summary
Using items or ornaments made from the bone ash of animals that are not halal according to Sharia is not permitted. This includes animals that are lawful to eat but were not slaughtered according to Sharia. Items made from bone ash of animals that are lawful to eat and slaughtered according to Sharia are permitted. The ruling follows the Shafie school, which holds that istihalah is not considered to have occurred, and it also notes the risk of widespread use of non-halal animal products and the absence of a level of necessity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Walau bagaimanapun, penggunaan peralatan dan perhiasan berasaskan abu tulang haiwan (bone china) yang halal dimakan dan disembelih mengikut hukum syarak adalah diharuskan.
