حلال
الْحَلَالُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. Whoever guards against the doubtful matters protects his religion and his honor.”

al-Bukhari, 52

Pork fat (lard) — is it halal?

Ruling: Haram

Description

Pork fat is pig adipose tissue (back fat, raw fat) and the fat rendered from it (lard). In the EU rendered fat is obtained by rendering without solvents. In the EAEU the species must be stated on rendered-fat labels; in the EU refined animal fat used in another food may be designated simply “animal fat” without the species.

Basis of the ruling

Pork fat is the fatty tissue of the pig (lard back fat, raw fat) and the fat rendered from it (lard). Rendering only separates the fat from the tissue: the fat remains the same fat, its essence does not change, so there is no istihala. All parts of the pig are impure in essence.
