Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to work in preparing pork or dealing with it, due to the assistance it provides in sin, and the husband's earnings from such work are unlawful. It is not permissible to deal with the husband regarding this unlawful money by eating or drinking, except in a state of necessity if there is no other lawful money. However, if his money is mixed (lawful and unlawful), then dealing with him is permissible. If the wife has exhausted all means of advising her husband to abandon unlawful earnings and he does not respond, and he does not provide her with lawful money for her sustenance, then she should seek a divorce.
