Q: I've recently encountered a vet who works with pigs. I've tried to encourage her that pigs are impure animals but she claims we not allowed to consume or touch its carcus which to my knowledge is correct but my question is, Can we as Muslims touch and love pigs like how the kufr do?
A: It is not permissible for a believer to have any type of contact with pigs. It is not permissible for a believer to purchase or sell a pig, or to keep it as a pet. Similarly, touching it is also impermissible. Hence, it is not permissible for a Muslim vet to treat pigs.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
