Products containing pork

Question

What does Islam say about using bathing soap or toothpaste that contain animal product including (pork)?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

If a person knows for a fact that there are some pieces of pork in soap or toothpaste, then it is not permissible for him to use it because what is taken from pig is impure whether it is taken from a live pig or a dead one. Using impurities or a product mixed with impurities is forbidden.

Allah knows best.
