Is it permissible to use a product containing 11 vitamin pills, knowing that one of them contains pepsin extracted from pork, if the aforementioned pill is discarded and the remaining pills are used?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Pork is forbidden due to the Almighty’s saying: "Forbidden to you are carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine." If a substance contains parts of a pig, it is impure and its use is prohibited, unless these parts have undergone a complete transformation. If impure grains touch pure grains while dry, impurity is not transferred, and it is permissible to separate the impure grain and benefit from the rest.
