Pork — is it halal?

Ruling: Haram

Description

Pork is the meat of the domestic pig: muscle, fat and connective tissue of the carcase. In the EU pig meat is meat of “domestic ungulates”; as an ingredient of another food, meat is named after the animal species. It is also sold as a dry “pork protein” ingredient made from pig meat.

Basis of the ruling

Pork is the meat of the domestic pig (muscle, fat and connective tissue of the carcass); it is also sold as dry 'pork protein'. Pig meat is forbidden by the Qur'an. The pig is impure in its very essence (najis al-'ayn), all its parts are impure, and slaughter does not purify it.
