Summary
Using bone china utensils or ornaments made from the bone ash of animals that are not halal under Islamic law is not permitted. This includes animals that are lawful to eat but were not slaughtered according to Islamic rules. The ruling holds that under the Shafie school the impurity of pig remains in the product because istihalah is considered not to have occurred, and that bone china does not reach the level of necessity. Bone china made from animals that are lawful to eat and slaughtered according to Islamic law is permitted.
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.
