Eating Pork: Is It a Sin?
Dear brothers and sisters, As-Salamu `alaykum. I am a Muslim male living in Canada. One day I went out to dinner with my friends and they encouraged me to eat pork. They said Allah created all creatures and He created the pig. Pigs no longer eat filthy garbage and are properly fed. So I ate pork. Have I sinned? Is it haram (prohibited)? Please help me.
