Ruling 226 — Purification (Ṭahārah)

If a utensil has been made from the hide of a dog, pig, or carcass [of an animal that has not been slaughtered according to Islamic law], it is unlawful to eat or drink out of it if the food or drink has become impure [as a result of wetness from the food or drink touching the utensil (see Ruling 119)]. Furthermore, the utensil must not be used for wuḍūʾ, ghusl, or any other purpose for which only pure objects must be used. And the recommended precaution is that the hide of a dog, pig, or carcass [as defined above] should not be used for any other purposes.
