Dear Scholars,As’salamu alaikum,Is it permissible to consume food from a place where Pork is cooked?Untensils used for cooking & serving this food are different.Since,It is a company canteen,all colleagues sit together in one large hall,with differnt tables assigned for pork consuming people.Can we eat in such atmosphere.Secondly,Is a Muslim chef allowed to cook Pork for others since it is his job. Kindly reply. Jazak allah khair.
Answer:
(Fatwa: 320/320/M=1431)
One should avoid staying or eating even halal food at a place where pork is cooked. A Muslim cook is not supposed to cook pork for others, he should leave this job and look for a lawful work.
