Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a questioner from outside this country. He says: My neighbor raises pigs, may Allah reward you. His question is: Is there any religious objection if I give him my leftover food to feed these pigs?

Answer:
No, you are encouraging him in this. Disapprove of it. I tell him: Leave the pigs, they are an abomination. This pig is an abomination, as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:
or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impureأَوْ لَحْمَ خِنزِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ
[Al-An'am 6:145]
Advise him to avoid the pigs.
