A: According to our research, bone china is made from the bones of cattle. If it is made from the bones of cattle, it will be permissible.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

ولا بأس ببيع عظام الميتة وعصبها وصوفها وقرنها وشعرها ووبرها والانتفاع بذلك كله لأنها طاهرة لا يحلها الموت لعدم الحياة وقد قررناه من قبل والفيل كالخنزير نجس العين عند محمد رحمه الله وعندهما بمنزلة السباع حتى يباع عظمه وينتفع به (الهداية 3/55)
