The ruling on the impurity of pork fat and its oil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, you mentioned that camel fats are not included in the category of meats. Is pork fat not impure, and is it permissible to eat it, given that we have heard it is used in the manufacture of some cheeses?
Answer:
The pig is forbidden and impure in all its parts, with nothing excepted from it. However, the fat is excepted, and the oil and the suet are excepted. These are excepted, and their use is permissible, unlike the pig itself. It is not permissible to use the pig’s oil, nor the pig’s fat, nor the pig itself. All of this, in all its parts, is an abomination. I came to say it is impure, like carrion. Carrion is also not lawful in any of its parts. Yes.
