UK’s New £5 Notes and Animal Tallow: Najis or Transformed?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: It has emerged that in the UK the new £5 notes contain animal tallow. The same is with plastic bags, and other items such as crayons. Would this mean they are najis or would they come under the ruling of transformation?

Bismillaah

A: It does not seem like transformation.

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