Removing impurity from Pig

Removing impurity from Pig

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen thought most likely to be correct, as he said in al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 1/495): “The fuqaha’ (may Allaah have mercy on them) likened (pig-related) impurity to dog-related impurity, because pigs are dirtier than dogs, so the ruling should apply even more so. 

 

This is a weak analogy, because pigs are mentioned in the Qur’aan and they existed at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and there is no report which likens them to dogs. So the correct view is that pig-related impurity is like any other kind of impurity, and there is no need to wash seven times, one of which should be with dust or dirt.”

 

 

الشيخ ابن عثيمين رحمه الله ، حيث قال في الشرح الممتع (1/495) : ( والفقهاء رحمهم الله ألحقوا نجاسته بنجاسة الكلب لأنه أخبث من الكلب ، فيكون أولى بالحكم منه .

 

وهذا قياس ضعيف ؛ لأن الخنزير مذكور في القرآن ، وموجود في عهد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، ولم يرد إلحاقه بالكلب . فالصحيح أن نجاسته كنجاسة غيره ، فتغسل كما تغسل بقية النجاسات ) انتهى .
