Is it permissible to eat food from which pieces of pork have been removed, then wipe it with a tissue, and pronounce the Name of Allah over it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Everything cooked or fried with pork in the same pot is impure, as is anything touched by its moisture, because it became impure by being cooked with the impure pork. Allah the Almighty says: "Say, 'I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by an eater except that it be a dead animal or blood poured forth or the flesh of swine — for indeed, it is impure.'" This does not become pure and cannot be purified; rather, all of it must be discarded, unless there is a part that the moisture of impurity did not reach, in which case it remains pure.
