The questioner : What is the wisdom behind the prohibition of pork? I hope you will provide us with information?
The Shaykh : The wisdom behind the prohibition of pork is that it is *rajis* (impure), as Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) said:[Al-An'am 6:145] And *rajis* is impurity. This is the wisdom behind the prohibition of pork.
For this reason, the disbelievers among the Jews, the Christians, and others have considered it permissible, because the wisdom of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) necessitated that the evil are for the evil, and the evil are for the evil.
