Pork is strictly forbidden, as Allah Almighty says: "Forbidden to you are carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine." Therefore, it is not permissible to sell it, or to be hired to carry it, wash it, or assist in any way with it, because that constitutes cooperation in sin and aggression, which Allah has prohibited in His saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Thus, it is obligatory to refrain from carrying this meat and washing its dishes, and any payment received for such actions is considered unlawful.
