Islam: Why is pork forbidden in Islam?
Can you tell me why pork is forbidden in Islam?
Yes, according to Islamic dietary laws, pork is considered prohibited or "haram." This is based on the Quranic verse that says, "Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah."
