Ruling on the najaasah (impurity) of pork

Pork is haram and it is not permissible to eat it, whether it is the meat, fat or any other part, because Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maitah (the dead animals — cattle — beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine[al-Maa’idah 5:3]

The Muslims are agreed that all parts of the pig are haram. Allah has forbidden it because of the harmful things it contains and because it is impure, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Say (O Muhammad): ‘I find not in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden to be eaten by one who wishes to eat it, unless it be Maitah (a dead animal) or blood poured forth (by slaughtering or the like), or the flesh of swine (pork); for that surely, is impure…”[al-An’aam 6:145]

Its meat is a disease, and the more people advance in knowledge, the more new diseases they discover, because of pork consumption.  

Muslims should keep away from places where this filthy meat is eaten so that they will not eat anything of it without realizing. 

With regard to washing plates, it is sufficient to wash them well with whatever will get rid of the filth of this meat.
