Should one withdraw money placed with a merchant who sells Pepsi-Cola due to the suspicion that Pepsi contains the enzyme pepsin extracted from the intestines of pigs, given the difficulty of allocating this money to another business?
The ruling that Pepsi Cola is forbidden is not accepted based on internet writings or rumors. Verification and caution are necessary. If it is scientifically proven by reliable laboratories that a forbidden substance from pigs, which has not been chemically transformed, is present, then its sale and purchase would be forbidden. Otherwise, the drink remains permissible according to its original status.
