Using Boar Bristle Hair Brush

QA-ID-0076

QUESTION

Can we use boar bristle hair brush?

ANSWER

It is prohibited to use any part of a pig or boar, as the entire animal, including its hair, is considered inherently impure (najis al-`ayn). Therefore, the use of a boar bristle hair brush is not permissible. This is the preferred view within the Hanafī school, as outlined in key Hanafī texts.

(See Badāyi’ al-Sanāyi’ 1/63; al-Fatāwā al-Ridawiyyah 21/621)
