It is forbidden to eat pork, its fat, or any part of it, as Allah Almighty says: "Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and the flesh of swine" [Quran 5:3]. This is because it is an abomination. Exaggerating in washing dishes from which pork was eaten is sufficient to remove its impurity, and it is not required to wash them seven times, one of which is with earth.
