Is it permissible to pray behind someone who works in raising pigs? Thank you.

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a Muslim to work in pig farming. If someone commits this sin, prayer behind him is valid if he is ritually pure. However, it is preferable not to pray behind him if there is an Imam available who is free from committing such an abomination.
