What is the ruling on working in a factory that produces pork if my work is limited to washing the trays in which the meat is placed, without seeing the pig itself?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Allah Almighty has forbidden pork, so it is not permissible to benefit from it in any way, nor is it permissible to work in a factory that relies on it, because that is cooperation in sin and aggression. Knowing that the factory operates in this field is sufficient to establish its prohibition. Whoever fears Allah and abandons this work, Allah will provide him with a way out and sustain him from where he does not expect.
