Does toothpaste fall in the same category as soap which is halaal even if haraam fat/oil is used to manufacture it?

Answer

No, toothpaste is not in the category of soap. If it contains haraam ingredients, it will be haraam. In fact, there is no consensus in our Math-hab even on soap. Some of our senior Fuqaha agree with the Shaafi' view that all soap made from haraam oil/fat is haraam. Even our Fuqaha who say it is permissible generally do not use soap from the Taqwa point of view. But, for the masses it is permissible. Once the Fuqaha have ruled on permissibility, then it will not be permissible to create difficulties for the masses. The senior Ulama say that using such soap on the face, extinguishes Noor from the face.
