Is it permissible to deal with a file-sharing website for earning money that goes by the name "PiggyShare" and uses the image of a pig as its symbol?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner has previously been answered regarding the permissibility of earning from uploading files to for-profit websites. It was stated that there is no objection to dealing with websites whose activity is permissible and do not promote forbidden things. It is highly probable that a website using a pig as its symbol does not meet these conditions. Even if we assume it does not promote forbidden things, the mere fact of adopting a pig as a name and symbol is sufficient for a Muslim to refrain from it.
