Is it permissible to consume something that contains pig gelatin or alcohol with wisdom?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Every food or drink mixed with pork or unfermented wine becomes impure (najis) and is forbidden to use, based on the words of the Almighty: ﴿Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who eats it, except that it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine — for indeed, it is defilement — or of disobedience, which was dedicated to other than Allah."﴾ [Al-An'am: 145]. The wisdom behind this prohibition is the presence of worldly or otherworldly harm.
