Body lotions containing animal fat

Question: 21417

Are we allowed to use body lotions with animal fat?

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

Using body lotions containing animal fat is permissible if the animal is one that we are permitted to eat and has been slaughtered properly according to sharee’ah. Otherwise it is not permitted.
