Question

are u allowed to use pig skin?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

According to Shari’ah, a pig is Najas (intrinsically impure) therefore it is impermissible for one to use pig skin.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
