Published as Paints containing glue derived from animal hide
Question
I want to purchase some paints, but they contain glue made from animal hide. I’m not sure what animal and I also do not know whether they were slaughtered in the halaal manner. Will the paints be najis and impermissible to use?
Answer
It will be pure as long as it is not from swine.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
