Summary
Bone China is made from animal bone ash mixed with kaolin and Cornish stone. Its use is permitted if the bones come from an animal that is lawful to eat and was slaughtered according to Islamic law. If the bones come from a non-halal animal, or a lawful animal that was not properly slaughtered, its use is not permitted because istihalah is considered not to have occurred and the impurity remains. The fatwa also states that such items do not meet the 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.
