I know tallow is somat to do with beef fat, they have it in soap over here and obviously they’re not going to use fat from a dhabeeha cow so I was wondering if the soap is tuhoor? Sometimes they use lard as well is candles and soaps which I guess is much more naajis.
Does anyone know if using such things is permissible and/or know of a website listing Halaal/Tuhoor and Haraam/Naajis food/toileteries in the UK?
Re: Sodium Tallowate
Sodium Tallowate will be made from bulk Tallow or FAT from animals and unfortunately most of that in the mass production industry is not even from permissible animals alone let alone being from a zabiha animal. Also, it is all mixed up, so it will have cow, pig, others in it.
Best is to buy 100% vegetarian soaps which you can find in the same aisle as the other hand and face washes, also LEVER brothers caress line and Lever 2000 line of washes are free of animal fats.
There is a US manufacturer called MINAR but I don't whether you can find them in the UK. They are muslims and use only vegetarian oils.
Also, you can contact the manufacturer of your preferred soaps on their toll free numbers and ask if they have any item in their line of products that is free from animal or strictly made from beef tallow.
Happy washing...!!

Re: Sodium Tallowate
Why do you want to use soap from "zabiha" cows only? There is no restriction about that IMO.
Re: Sodium Tallowate
soap does not necessarily have to be from a zabeeha animal's fat but it should be from a permissible animals fat. So no pig...
ITs pretty easy to find vegetarian glycerine soaps...
Re: Sodium Tallowate
^ I agree.
Re: Sodium Tallowate
Isn't the impermissibility of certain animals to do with eating them rather than using them to wash off dirt?
Re: Sodium Tallowate
Everything is haram... the air you breathe in ... money you recieve (paychecks) is haram... after all it goes through some kind of interest process before it gets to you. My solution : Kill yourself if you are a mulsim...life is so dang hard.
Re: Sodium Tallowate
Mad_Scientist, perhaps you can shed some light since you work for a related organization (sorry can't seem to recall the name).
Re: Sodium Tallowate
I can't shed any light on it because it is a religious issue and not an industrial one. As someone mentioned, most soap companies source their materials from various places that change month-to-month. Some months it will be made with pig-sourced compnents, some months it won't.
Generally, for products for internal consumption such as toothpaste, non-animal ingredients are becoming more common. For external products where the product will wash right off, animal compounds remain common.
Re: Sodium Tallowate
^ Although I do have something on mind, but I won't comment since I could very well be wrong.
I'll prolly look into it whenever I get a chance (not for a long time).
Re: Sodium Tallowate
no clear haram animals such as pig should not used for any need ...
it is not just a matter of consumption..
