Question

is it prohabbited to take the name of pig, i have also heard that if anybody take the name of pig he is out from the Islam for 40 days

Answer

The Arabic word for pig, Khinzeer, is in the Qur?aan which comprises of five Arabic alphabets. If a person recites the Qur?aan and comes across the word, Khinzeer, he will acquire a minimum of fifty rewards.

Even the names of arch-enemies of Allah, Fir?awn and Haaman, are mentioned in the Qur?aan. A person will not lose his Imaan by uttering the word pig. However, the word should not be used in a vulgar context.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
