Question: Is sheep wool pure if sheep may have been fed on filth?
Answer:
Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Dear questioner,
Thank you for your important question.
Regardless of what the sheep are feed, sheep’s wool is pure if it is shorn while the animal is alive. [Minhaj al-Talibin, Nawawi]
Furthermore, we do not hypothesize about what an animal may possibly have eaten. We always assume everything is pure until proven otherwise.
I pray this helps.
