💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
📜 Question: If a person ate pork (or the meat of pig) unknowingly, then is there a compensation upon them? If compensating is obliged, then what is the recompense?
📝 Answer: There is nothing wrong with them for as long as they did not know (they were unaware of the food containing haraam/forbidden ingredients such as lard, pork or wine). What they can do is to gargle and rinse their mouth well to remove the remnants of the filthy substance, and properly wash their hands, Alhamdulillah.
Question: But what if they don't wash their mouth or they were not informed that what they ate contained pork until after they've eaten, what should they do?
Answer: There is no blame upon them (since they were not warned that they were consuming pork.
Muslims are not accountable for wrongdoings which they are ignorant about during the time of committing the mistake or they were forced to do, such as being pranked by non-Muslim acquaintances or dining at a restaurant where the cooking utensils were also used on pork or alcoholic beverages).
