The sale of pork, its transportation, working with it, and everything connected to it is forbidden (haram), because if the consumption of something is forbidden, then its sale, purchase, and working with it are also forbidden. This is based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden the sale of alcoholic beverages, dead animals, pigs, and idols." Transporting and selling pork is assisting sinners in forbidden acts and cooperating in sin and aggression. Allah Almighty says: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
