regarding the impurity of pork?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Eid Abbasi : Yes, I want to ask whether... regarding the impurities of the pig, they rule that it is impure in itself. Is this correct?

The Shaykh : By the text of the Qur'an
for it is an impurity فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ
.

The questioner : It went... .

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : ... we say.

The questioner :
He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُم الْمَيْتَةَ وَالدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:173]
.

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : There is nothing in it...
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
it was only forbidden,
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
... .

The questioner : No, there is a verse
for it is an impurity فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ
where Ibn Hazm says.

Eid Abbasi : This...

The questioner : 'Id 'Abassi : No, yes... .

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : Ibn Hazm has a Zahirite... .

The questioner : ... no, it is not.
...

The Shaykh : 'Id 'Abassi : ... all the oil or the fat of the questioner... .

The questioner : If it is oil... .
...

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : If in front of him - for example - he licked it, he turned his head upside down.

The Shaykh : ... something we cannot be certain about.

The questioner : A hadith.

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : No, like... the impurity of the pig in a text that mentions the prohibition, meaning the impurity of its very self.

The Shaykh : The verse...

Eid Abbasi : It is...
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:3]
.

The questioner : 'Id 'Abassi : Other than that, other than that in a verse.

The Shaykh : ... .

Eid Abbasi : No, that one is other than that.

The questioner : 'Id 'Abassi : And the flesh of the pig, for it is an abomination.

Eid Abbasi : A sinner.

The questioner : 'Id 'Abassi : An abomination, for it is an abomination; even Ibn Hazm says.

Eid Abbasi : Is it carried on this materiality?

The questioner: No.

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : The material impurity?

The Shaykh: Was it?

The questioner : The flesh of the pig indicates that Ibn Hazm says the pig is not just its flesh that is impure, but the whole thing is impure; meaning, to escape his Zahirite position, he says: "for it," the pronoun refers not to the flesh of the pig, but to the pig itself; meaning, even he believes that.

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : This is different from the dog; we do not say: the dog is impure, the dog.

The Shaykh : What do you say?

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : It is impure in its entirety.

The Shaykh : Yes, no, its saliva.

Eid Abbasi : 'Id 'Abassi : Only its saliva.

The Shaykh : Yes.

Eid Abbasi : So is this more impure than it?

The Shaykh : 'Id 'Abassi : Of course, the pig is more severe.

Eid Abbasi : Meaning, I mentioned.

The Shaykh : 'Id 'Abassi : And the reason is that He - the Exalted - said:
for it is an impurity فَإِنَّهُ رِجْسٌ
.

The questioner : I mentioned a hadith, meaning, but I want to ask you about it. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever plays with the dice is as if he has dipped his hand in the flesh and blood of a pig. من لعب بالنَّرد فكأنما غمس يده في لحم خنزير ودمه
Sahih Ibn Hibban 47:324
; does that also imply?

The Shaykh : What?

Eid Abbasi :
Whoever plays with the dice من لعب بالنَّرد
.

The Shaykh : ... the hadith ...

The questioner : It implies its intrinsic impurity.

Eid Abbasi : It implies its intrinsic impurity?

The Shaykh : It would be.

Another questioner: Of course.
