The answer

The prohibition of consuming pork is definitive and a well-known essential tenet of the religion. Many verses and hadiths have confirmed this, including the Almighty's saying: "Forbidden to you are carrion, blood, and the flesh of swine," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, Allah has forbidden intoxicants and their price, and has forbidden carrion and its price, and has forbidden swine and its price." Also, the saying "Whoever plays with nardashir (backgammon) is as if he has dyed his hand in the flesh and blood of a pig" indicates the ugliness of touching it. It is not permissible to work in anything that assists in the consumption of pork, whether by cutting, preparing, or manufacturing; this is considered cooperation in sin and aggression. Even if the intestines are imported and exported between disbelieving countries, what is forbidden is forbidden for both Muslims and non-Muslims. A Muslim must avoid this, and whoever gives up something for the sake of Allah, Allah will compensate him with something better, "And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect."
