I had a question regarding Hair brushes that Muslims can use. I have heard thathair brushes contain boar bristle  are made from pig hair. Is that correct? Does anyone know hair brushes that Muslims are allowed to use?  Please Help because I am really confused to what hair brush to use?
May Allah(s.w.t) reward you for your time and effort inshallah.Ameen

Some hair brushes do contain pig elements in them. We are of the opinion that since hair brushers that do not contain pig fibers do exist, one should abstain from the usage of brushers that have pig in them.

Use hair brushers that have synthetic fibers to eliminate all doubt. Contact the brush company thought their 1 800 number to find out what elements exist within the brush.

One must realize, even though some have given allowance for the usage of pig bristles, we are of the opinion that things that are filthy (najis)  or have filth in their origin (najis u lain) should be abstained from, for what you are to use undoubtedly affects faith (imaan.)

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
