The ruling on a Muslim cooking pork for non-Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was sent from Kuwait by a listener there, (H. A. Egyptian), who says: I work as a cook for a foreign company, and I cook pork, despite my certainty of its prohibition, knowing that I do not taste it, nor do I serve it to the Muslim workers. Is there any sin on me for cooking it and serving it to the foreigners?
Answer:
Yes, yes, that is not permissible for you. Allah the Exalted says: [Al-Ma'idah: 2]. Cooking pork and serving it to guests, or to those who employed you to do this, is an evil act and assistance in evil; because Allah has forbidden pork to them just as He has forbidden it to Muslims. So it is not permissible for you to assist them in what Allah has forbidden, just as it is not permissible for you to assist them in shirk (associating partners with Allah), or in worshipping Isa (peace be upon him), or in drinking intoxicants, or in any other of these sins. So cooking pork and serving it to them, or to guests, is all an evil act.
So it is obligatory for you to be cautious of that, to resign, and to stay away from them, if you are sincere in your Islam. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for you. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah accept it.

Answer:
Yes, yes, that is not permissible for you. Allah the Exalted says:
And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَلا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِSo it is obligatory for you to be cautious of that, to resign, and to stay away from them, if you are sincere in your Islam. We ask Allah for guidance for us and for you. Yes.
