Can I Use a Brush Made From Boar?

Dear questioner,

Thank you for your important question.

May Allah reward you for following the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) in combing and oiling your beard.

Anas ibn Malik reports: “God’s Messenger often applied lotion to his head and frequently combed his beard. [Related by Al-Tirmidhi]

You do not need to make up your prayers.

However, it is not permissible to use a brush/comb made from boar hair due to the pig being intrinsically impure.

And Allah knows best
