Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah has forbidden the Muslim from selling pork. It has been authentically reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of alcoholic beverages, dead animals, pork, and idols." It is not permissible for a Muslim to commit sins in pursuit of sustenance, for trading in pork and alcohol are among the gravest sins. A Muslim must fear Allah and abandon this idea, for whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
