What is the ruling on horns that are cut from animals, whether alive or dead, and are used for beneficial purposes?

If the horns are taken from an animal whose meat has been ritually slaughtered (dhabīḥa), then it is permissible to benefit from them without disagreement. However, if they are cut from a living animal or taken after its death without a شرعية (sharʿīyah) slaughter, scholars have differed: The Mālīkī, Shāfiʿī, and Ḥanbalī schools of thought held them to be impure, arguing that they are part of carrion (maytah (definition)) or cut from a living animal, thus taking the ruling of carrion. Conversely, the Ḥanafī school, a narration from Imam Aḥmad, and the chosen opinion of Ibn Taymīyah, maintained their purity and the permissibility of benefiting from them, based on what was reported from the Salaf that bones are not rendered impure by death due to the absence of a cause for impurity in them. The opinion of their purity is strong, but whoever acts cautiously and refrains from benefiting from them, that is better.
