Answered by Ustadha Shaista Maqbool
Can one donate, to a non-muslim charity, items made from haram materials? There is a risk that an undiscerning muslim might purchase the item. In my case I have a pair of shoes with pigskin lining. Should I donate or dispose?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Kind, Most Merciful.
No, it would not be permissible to give away items made from haram materials such as pigskin, even to non-Muslims. Anything which is impermissible to own or use, it is impermissible to donate. [Ibn Abideen, Radd al-Muhtar] Rather, it should be disposed of.
Wasalaam,
