Pork related work

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamualaikum,

I work at a company in which I have to handle pork with gloves on. Is that permissible? I am the line lead there and have to handle it 3 times a week. Is that ok? Is my income haram? I try to avoid it as much as possible but sometimes I have to. 

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

Have yourself excused from handling the pork. If you are compelled to  do it then take out the amount of income earned handling pork and give in Sadaqah to the poor and needy and continue looking for some other job.

واللہ اعلم بالصواب
