Shooting paintballs that have pig gelatine and performing salaah with paintball stains on one's clothing
Question
1. Is it permissible to shoot paintballs, now that there is evidence to show that the paintballs are made from swine?
Will the masala differ according to how much of pig gelatine is used in the paintball?
2. Can a person perform salaah if he has these paintball stains on his clothes?
Answer
1. If this is confirmed then it must be left out. It will not be permissible to use it.
If it is an ingredient used within it then it should not be used.
2. If it is confirmed then it is najis.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
