Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: He says : [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] The verse [al-Ma'idah: 3]. Do I understand from this that anything other than the meat of the pig is lawful; such as its oil and fat, for example? And if its fat and oil are forbidden, what is the interpretation of His saying, the Exalted: , and He did not say: ?
Answer: The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) have unanimously agreed on the prohibition of the pig in its entirety: its meat and its fat. They argued with this noble verse and what came in its meaning, and they said: it was prohibited only because of its filthiness, and filthiness encompasses both the meat and the fat.
But Allah, the Exalted, mentioned the meat because it is the intended object, and the rest follows it. They also argued with what is established in the two Sahihs from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said on the day of the Conquest:Sahih al-Bukhari 2236 the hadith. He specified the pig and did not mention the meat; this indicates the generalization of the prohibition.
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine
حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالْدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِand the meat of the pig
وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِand the pig

Allah and His Apostle made illegal the trade of alcohol, dead animals, pigs and idols.
إن الله ورسوله حرم عليكم بيع الخمر، والميتة، والخنزير، والأصنام
