Pig

Post by FRK »

My question is:
Should "pigs" be introduced to Muslim children, just as an animal?

I have an infant daughter who will eventually come across and learn about "pigs" in daycares or when we make trips to the farm.
To what extent are we limited to the exposure of this animal. Is it just prohibited in terms of food or shouldnt be exposed to it at all?

Please help,

Thanks,

Curious MoM

Off course you can introduce pig to your daughter after all pig is also creation of almighty Allah therefore there is nothing wrong to introduce pigs but eating pig meat is prohibited in Islam so, stay away from that, this topic has been discussed many times in this forum so, if you want to know why it is prohibited in Islam then go back and search eating pork meat!

FRK,

The biggest problem with the pig is that the pig eats his own s**t....Now you have to decide whether you're ok with that or not.
