The Conflict Between the Legal and Linguistic Realities in Pork

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a legal reality conflicts with a linguistic reality, such as the issue of meat, in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swineحُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنزِيرِ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
, it includes all parts of the pig.

Answer:
This is specific to the pig because it is impure, for Allah said that it is impure; the pig is impure. As for the camel and its liver, it is not impure, so this does not apply to it. Yes.
