It is forbidden to issue a without knowledge, and to speak about what is lawful and unlawful without evidence. It is forbidden to sell pork to disbelievers and Muslims, based on evidence from the Qur'an and , such as His (Allah's) saying: (Say, "I do not find in what has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who eats it, unless it be a dead animal or blood poured forth or the flesh of swine — for indeed, that is an abomination — or an act of disobedience dedicated to other than Allah.") and the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, when Allah forbids a thing, He forbids its price." As for money obtained from unlawful sources before knowing of the prohibition, there is no sin in it. However, after knowing it, one must abstain from it.
