The Details of the Question
If one hand touches pork meat and that hand without being washed touches bread, can I eat that bread? Submitted by on Sun, 01/02/2009 - 23:38
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Because the pig is najis (dirty, not clean), it makes where it touches najis. So, if one’s hand touches pork, s/he cannot eat anything with that hand. However, s/he can eat with untouched parts of his/her hand. If s/he washes his/her hand, the state of najasah disappears. And the criterion of washing is to wash at least three times.
