Question: As-salamu `alaykum. I have a question to ask: can a Muslim eat food cooked in a pan in which pork has been cooked before? But no pork is being served in the dish. So, is the food halal?
It is permissible for a Muslim to eat in such a pan provided that it is washed and there are no traces of pork in it.
It goes without saying that pork is not allowed for a Muslim to consume. Allah Almighty says:
{Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which has been invoked a name other than that of Allah.} (Al-Ma’idah 5:3)
However, it is permissible for a Muslim to eat food that is cooked in such a pan or pot, provided that it is washed and there are no remains or traces of pork in it.
Almighty Allah knows best.
