Question:

Is it permissible to use a feather duster made from real ostrich feathers?

Answer:

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

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

It is permissible to use dusters made of ostrich feathers.  The feathers are pure regardless of whether they were plucked when the animal was alive or dead.[1]
 
And Allah Ta’ālā Knows Best

[1]  وَأما الْأَجْزَاء الَّتِي لَيْسَ فِيهَا دم فَفِي غير الْآدَمِيّ وَالْخِنْزِير من الْحَيَوَانَات ينظر إِن كَانَت صلبة مثل الشّعْر وَالصُّوف والريش والقرن والعظم وَالسّن والحافر والخف والظلف والعصب والإنفحة الصلبة فَلَيْسَتْ بنجسة بِلَا خلاف بَين أَصْحَابنَا (تحفة الفقهاء ج 1 ص 52 دار الكتب)

شَعْرُ الْمَيْتَةِ وَعَظْمُهَا طَاهِرَانِ وَكَذَا الْعَصَبُ وَالْحَافِرُ وَالْخُفُّ وَالظِّلْفُ وَالْقَرْنُ وَالصُّوفُ وَالْوَبَرُ وَالرِّيشُ وَالسِّنُّ وَالْمِنْقَارُ وَالْمِخْلَبُ وَكَذَا شَعْرُ الْإِنْسَانِ وَعَظْمُهُ وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ. (الهندية ج 1 ص 24 الرشيدية)

قَالَ: (وَشَعْرُ الْمَيْتَةِ وَعَظْمُهَا طَاهِرٌ) لِأَنَّ الْحَيَاةَ لَا تُحِلُّهُمَا حَتَّى لَا تَتَأَلَّمَ بِقَطْعِهِمَا فَلَا يَحِلُّهُمَا الْمَوْتُ وَهُوَ الْمُنَجِّسُ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْعَصَبُ وَالْحَافِرُ وَالْخُفُّ وَالظِّلْفُ وَالْقَرْنُ وَالصُّوفُ وَالْوَبَرُ وَالرِّيشُ وَالسِّنُّ وَالْمِنْقَارُ وَالْمِخْلَبُ لِمَا ذَكَرْنَا، وَلِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَا} [النحل: 80] امْتَنَّ بِهَا عَلَيْنَا مِنْ غَيْرِ فَصْلٍ.(الاختيار ج 1 ص 16 دار الكتب)
