Hi everyone,
I’m a Jewish atheist and my coworker and friend is a Muslim. Work bought us lunch one day, they bought sandwiches from a hoagie shop, some were turkey and some were ham. Our boss is kind of an asshole and was like “everyone gets what they get” so my coworker was stressed out because she can’t eat it if it’s ham. I told her if I got turkey and she got ham I’d switch with her, and that’s what happened so we swapped.
Later on another coworker heard we swapped and claimed that in Islam, it’s not okay to benefit from giving pork to someone else, especially someone who isn’t supposed to eat pork either (I don’t eat kosher at all). The coworker making this claim isn’t Muslim but now I’m wondering, is this true?
To clarify, I’m almost certain the turkey sandwiches weren’t halal but she doesn’t eat strict halal, she just abstains from pork.
