The answer

The two Shaykhs and others narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, it is indeed imminent that the son of Mary will descend among you as a just ruler, breaking the cross, killing the pig, abolishing the jizya, and money will become so abundant that no one will accept it." The intent of "killing the pig" is its literal killing, meaning it is forbidden to keep or eat it, and it is permissible to kill it. There is no contradiction between this and his killing of the Dajjal.
