Is it permissible for university students to dissect a baby pig?

Answered by Mufti Faraz Adam · · 23 Dhuʻl-Hijjah 1442 AH

The answer

Dissecting a baby pig is permissible for research purposes so long as one uses gloves when touching the pig. If your skin touches any part of the pig, then it should be washed thoroughly.

Condition: Permissible for research as long as gloves are worn, and skin that touches the pig is washed thoroughly.

And Allah knows best.

Mufti Faraz Adam

Based on the Hanafi school and on the question as it was asked. Another mufti may reach a different conclusion. Read the disclaimer.
