The vessels in which dogs eat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Food extracted from the bones of the pig

Question: What is the ruling on consuming food extracted from the bones, meat, or fat of the pig?

Answer: If a Muslim is certain that the food is extracted from the pig, or contains any part of the pig, it is forbidden for him to eat it.because of His saying, the Exalted:
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swineحُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ
[Al-Ma'idah: 3], and this is agreed upon by the Muslim community. Thus, the prohibition of the pig is established in the Book, the Sunnah, and scholarly consensus. Therefore, food containing any part of the pig is forbidden to eat.
So you must turn to good, pure, and clean vessels. However, if there is a need to use a vessel in which a dog has licked or eaten, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us that if a dog licks in a vessel, we should wash it seven times, one of which with soil. It is obligatory for you, if you wish to use a vessel from those in which dogs eat or drink, to wash it seven times and rub it with soil, and then use it.

Question: As for eating or drinking without knowledge, if Allah wills, are they not held accountable for that?

Answer: If a person does not know that a dog has licked in the vessel, the original state is purity and the original state is permissibility. Mere suspicion or doubt does not result in a legal ruling. The original state of the vessel is purity, unless a person is certain and knows that a dog has licked in it. In that case, it is obligatory for him, if he wishes to use this vessel, to implement what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, which is to wash it seven times, one of which with soil.
