Faraz Rabbani – Weekly Q&A What Is the Ruling on Using Makeup Made from Derivatives of Animals

The first is, what is the ruling

of using makeup

from

derivatives of raw materials

of animal origin?

The issue has some detail, and one needs

to see what kind of derivatives

those are.

So we have a number of answers on

Seeker's guidance

regarding that. The basis is that it is

haram

to use

ingredients from unslaughtered animals.

That it's haram to use

ingredients from unslaughtered animals,

unless there's been

chemical transformation.

But chemical transformation

is an exception, not the general rule.

It's not the general rule.

So one needs to

one needs to check, basically. One needs to

check

to ensure that

the the items one is using

are,

in fact, permissible

to use.

There are certain things, particularly

soaps

and the like, where

the have looked at it, and

chemical transformation, essential

transformation

is considered to have actually

taken place. So those are permitted

to use. But in other,

items,

it wouldn't be the case. Now some of

the things practically to to to do is

that sometimes we can find

ingredients that are suitable for vegetarians.

That is

will be permissible to use because it wouldn't

have animal ingredients.

Or

there in some countries, you have certified halal

ingredients in things like this. If you're in

such a country,

then avail yourself of those

matters.

There's also using more natural ingredients that don't

have so many,

additives

as well.
