People are shocked by toothbrush products that use pig bristles as the basic material used to clean our teeth every day.
The use of the product refers to the writing in English, namely bristles on the packaging.
As explained on the Wikipedia site, bristles products are obtained from pig derivatives in the form of feathers.

These bristles are often used by industry as a cleaning tool for teeth, toilet brushes, household cleaning tools.
The use of pig body parts, including the fur, is forbidden in Islam.

As stated by the Chairman of the Medan City MUI, Muhammad Hatta said, if it is true that the toothbrush is made of pig bristles, the toothbrush is haram.
"In Al Surah Al Maidah verse 3 it is explained that derivatives from pigs are haram. We will explore this prohibition, really from sea urchins or not," he said via cellular, Monday (7/3/2016)
He added, if proven MUI will publish to the public so as not to use the toothbrush. In addition, MUI will withdraw the product from the market.
Armed with this information, the Tribune then traced the truth of the use of sea urchins in dental cleaning products.
As found in the minimarket on Jalan Denai, the toothbrush brand Or** * is clearly made of bristles.
The product packaging clearly explains the product, "Super thin Bristles".

Meanwhile, regarding this, the Medan City Health Service through the Secretary of the North Sumatra Health Office, Afwan Lubis, is not sure about the existence of a toothbrush made of pig bristles.
"I don't think it's possible. But what about it? We can comment if there is a laboratory test first. Currently there is no laboratory test," he said via cellular, Monday (7/3/2016)
He added that laboratory tests were carried out if there were reports from the public regarding the boar bristle toothbrush. If it really contains sea urchins, then it should not be circulated because there are elements that are not halal.
