The answer

The questioner might be confused about the type of pig that is forbidden, as the ruling on aquatic pigs differs from that on wild pigs. The wild pig, whether domesticated or untamed, is the well-known pig whose prohibition has been unanimously stated in the texts. There is no difference in the prohibition between its domesticated and wild forms, as the wording is general and includes both. Scholars have stipulated that the absolute term "pig" refers to the land pig, and that its meat, fat, skin, and nerves are unanimously forbidden. Furthermore, it is impure, and its hide is not purified by tanning. It is also forbidden to keep or trade in it.
