He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some factories that convert animal intestines into medical threads have a section for pig intestines. Those who work with them claim that only eating pork is forbidden, while everything else is permissible. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
No, absolutely not. It is not permissible. There is no limit to the prohibition of the pig and pig threads. One should use threads made from something other than the pig. It is never permissible to use the pig.
