Carrion and swine are forbidden and severely impure, and it is not permissible for a Muslim to work with them or touch them for study and education, even if the intention is noble. Many scholars have issued fatwas prohibiting touching impurities. Working in this field is considered assisting in sin and aggression, therefore it is advised to stay away from training in an institute that deals with these materials.
