A Muslim nurse providing food containing pork to a non-Muslim patient

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A Muslim is nursing a non-Muslim man who is unable to attend to his own needs. Is it permissible for this Muslim nurse to serve this sick non-Muslim food that contains pork? He cites as evidence that 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gifted a piece of silk to his brother when he was a disbeliever.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to serve pork. He should serve it to someone else of the same type as this non-Muslim, and they can serve it to him. Yes.
