Is the ruling the same if the pork product is a sweet that is known to contain pork gelatine?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Please note: I mean where the pork product is known, not merely suspected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">The Prophet SAW said, &#8220;Whoever sees a wrong action, he should stop him with his hand, and if he cannot, then he should advise him verbally, if he cannot, then he should at least dislike it in his heart.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Generally speaking, Muslims must actively address and discourage an action or behaviour that goes against moral or ethical standards. If a person cannot do so physically, they should speak out against them verbally. If even that cannot be done, then one should dislike the act in their heart. However, it is important to approach each situation with wisdom and tact, taking into consideration the individual&#8217;s receptiveness to the advice and the potential consequences of intervening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">When the matter concerns a fellow Muslim who is engaged in haram, then one should make every effort to stop the Muslim from continuing the haram act, whether that be physically (if possible) or verbally, or, at the very least, by showing them that he does not support their actions. But as non-Muslims are not obligated to follow Muslim laws and eat halal food, the appropriate course of action in this situation is to disapprove of it in your heart and leave the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;
