Any truth ?

[Layth]

Peace,

We are specifically forbidden from pig 'meat'

Fat and other 'non-meat' contents are not forbidden.

[ammarb87]

i know that but how can u tell if any of the ingredients are Pig fat or not? Doesnt that make life hard? I mean they put animal fat in all their products .. biscuits etc...

Salaams Ammar,

Marie wrote the truth in the following link.
http//www.free-minds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2840&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=50

The pig doesn't belong to the same group of the eight pairs of the livestock quoted in the reading. He does not ruminate like them. He is omnivore like us evil .

[ammarb87]

so has she convinced most of u that pig fat is not haram ?

[marie]

Peace ammar

so has she convinced most of u that pig fat is not haram ?

My goal is not to convice anybody here but to share only my view in the light of the Reading and according my own understanding.

The God knows best.

6146. And for the Jews We have forbidden all that have claws; and from the cattle and the sheep We forbade their fat except what is attached to the back, or entrails, or mixed with bone. That is a punishment for their rebellion, and We are truthful.

6146 is specific to the fat (shuhoom) of the cattle and the sheep, we can deduce that their meat is allowed. The same reasonning is valid for the pig (16115).

Lahm/meat and shahm/fat are two distinct things in the light of the reading.

Hope that helps

[ammarb87]

I dont know .. i need more convincing but in simpler words .. .hehe

[TAJ]

so has she convinced most of u that pig fat is not haram ?

On the contrary, Ammar! Her point clearly says that all that comes from pigs is Haram to eat as the pig is omnivore, just like us, humans. WE are not allowed to eat omnivores.

Peace all,

Only the meat of the pig is forbidden.

The language of the Reading is precise, when the God means fat He says fat (6146) when He means meat He says meat (2173). In the light of 2173, the God doesn't say the pig is forbidden in the same way than almayta (any animal that dies by itself) which mean the whole bodies (meat fat, entrails, bone ..).
The God forbade the meat of the pig and not the pig.
Idem the God forbade the animal that dies by itself and not a specific part of it like meat, fat or bone.

I hope you see the difference between these two expressions, the pig and the meat of the pig are two distinct things.

2173. He has only forbidden for you what is already dead, and the blood, and the meat of pig, and what was dedicated to other than God. Whoever finds himself forced out of need and without disobedience or animosity, then there is no sin upon him. God is Forgiving, Merciful.

Salam sister 'marie' n all,
I totally agree with u on this issue. Also u used exactly the same verse 6146 2 prove ur pt. Thts the verse i always used 2 show those who dont understand this matter. This is an amazing coincidence aint it? GOD Bless!

People eat shaving cream?! shock

[Tay]

Peace All,

A bit off topic, but I'm interested in how the author makes the following connection

Since these goods are being used in all Muslim countries indiscriminately, our society is facing problems like shamelessness, rudeness and sexual promiscuity.

So, because there's pig fat in toothpaste and shaving cream, Muslims are acting shamelessly, rude, and being sexually promiscious? ?

[Wakas]

peace All,

As I am allergic/sensitive to certain foodstuffs/additives I've gotten used to reading ingredients labels on food.
In fact, many people are allergic/sensitive to foodstuffs/additives but they dont know it. Its estimated to be 10% of general population.
Furthermore, a significant number of general health conditions can be improved by changing diet. From the common migraine to fatal heart disease.

With respect to this article, how does one verify the E numbers given, because I tried but got stuff not related to pig-fat. I thought these were international?

Coming from personal experience of researching ingredients on a regular basis, I can honestly say the system is shocking. Basically, manufacturers are encouraged to divulge all, its not obligatory. Its pathetic.

The recent scare in the UK about Sudan 1 tippified the problem, in which a cancer-causing agent banned 2 years ago was found in over 400 widely available common products.
http//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4285285.stm
http//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4287109.stm

NB It doesn't matter if the risk of cancer was low, its the fact that a banned substance was widely used.

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) does carry out random checks but says it is up to the suppliers to make sure the food does not contain Sudan I
