Question Summary:
If there is snail slime in a cosmetic product, would it be permissible to use?

Question Detail:

Assalamoalikum, 

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Snails discharge slime, a kind of mucus, which are used in some cosmetics.[i]

Is it permissible to use such cosmetics?

Snails are bloodless creatures.[ii] The rule regarding bloodless creatures is that their secretions are pure; hence, snail slime will be considered pure.[iii] One may apply such products on their body with the condition that the cosmetics are devoid of actual impurities.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

النتف في الفتاوى للسغدي (1/ 37)

وَعند الْفُقَهَاء الْهَوَام على وَجْهَيْن

مَا لَهُ دم سَائل مثل الْفَأْرَة والحية والوزغة والقنفذ فان مَا يخرج

مِنْهَا وسؤرها مَكْرُوه وان وَقع فِي المَاء يَجعله مَكْرُوها وبولها نجس وَمَا لَيْسَ لَهُ نفس سَائِلَة فان مَا يخرج مِنْهَا طَاهِر
