Lamb fat would be a  far better substitute than either lard or oil. Neither 
lard nor oil possess the requisite flavor that tail fat does. Also pork is 
not eaten by followers of al-Islam making lard a completely unsatisfactory 
substitute. Another point you may want to consider is that recipes calling 
for tail fat oftentimes call for other types of oil and/or fats in addition 
to the tail fat.
